The St. Louis Angels Fastpitch Organization, established 1982, understands the importance of athletic participation in young women's lives. Studies show that athletics not only foster sport related behaviors such as enhanced perception of physical competence, good sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership, but also facilitates concepts of responsibility, commitment and self-esteem. Our program strives to provide our athletes with an environment that harbors these behaviors, all of which are significant factors in competitive, educational and professional success.
