Megan Carver, Starting Pitcher Cascade Middle School

Finishes 2009 Middle School Season Undefeated
.
LFA 12u

2009 Pitcher of the Year
.




Never give up attitude and hard work pays off for Megan Carver and and undefeated Fall season for her school team at Cascade Auburn Middle School.
.
"Megan tried pitching last year and had some results but was not totally satisfied. She took some time off from LFA Academy and played mostly infield spots with Acers Kasner 12u for 2009 regular season. Adam has brought her speed up and cleaned-up her mechanics. He also worked on her 'mental game' and put her on a high calorie diet which included peanut butter and jelly sandwitches. Megan goes hard for 3 hour practices with Acers then another 2 hours per week with Coach Adam. It was the middle of Summer and Megan wanted back on the mound. I took her to LFA Pitching Camps and Adam kicked her butt in shape, made her arm much stronger and Megan did the rest, I asked her if she can make the committment and she said alright. " dad, Chuck Carver
"I know Megan works hard at what she wants in everything she puts her mind to. We appreciated her efforts with Adam." mom, Jen Carver

2009 LFA
12u TEAM OF THE YEAR


Tuesday, May 19
.
Undefeated on Saturday at Thurston County Fastpitch Association (TCFA) Tournament
.
"With great hitting and base-running from all the players, PBJ's really did well. Including "shut-out" pitching efforts by Kendahl and Cheyanne. The highlight of the weekend was finishing the game to the very end for the victory decided by an International Tie-Breaker with Kendahl scoring the winning run. Congratulations!" - coach Adam
.
The Bluejays had a phenomenal weekend in Olympia at the TCFA Tournament. Out of the 17 teams that entered the tourney, only two teams were undefeated and the Bluejays was one of them!
.
Due to the players hard work and determination we ended up with the 3rd place trophy. The last two games were very nerve-racking for the coaches and parents. It started Sunday morning with a come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the last inning and ended Sunday afternoon with an extra-inning two-hour game victory! Awesome job ladies! Also, thanks to our parents/fans for their tremendous support. The girls really appreciated it.
- Coach Darin
.
LFA would like to thank PBJ for their support and allowing us to be a Fastpitch Sponsor.

La Serna Fastpitch Academy was able to train the PBJ 12u Team in the following areas:
  • Pitching
  • Catcher's Training
  • Hitting
  • Fielding
  • Throwing

" I don't come across too many players that have such great attitudes as PBJ's do. Attitude is key to any successful fastpitch program. From there add some quality instruction and let the kids practice with great coaches who are fearless and willing to try their new skills anytime-anywhere. Its the experience that pays off. I think the PBJ Team and organization is having alot of fun winning!"

Coach Adam

2006 - Pitching Trainer to Vashaela Naranjo, a travel ball extraordinary pitcher and leader from 2002 to 2007 in all areas of Fastpitch Softball. Dominated her competition from an early age and had her share of challenges. A starting pitcher with 2006 16A Acers Glenn, placed 9th at Nationals in outstanding performances on the mound. Shay had an ability to make everyone around her "better" and was a college stand-out recruit at ASA/NSA Colllege Exposure Tournaments around the Country. This Legend of Auburn Washington will be missed by all who knew "Shay" and the game she loved.

Shay became the inspiration behind many successful Select and College pitchers today. Also, the motivation behind LFA and her godfather, Adam, trainer/coach. Shay's training attitude and dedication changed fastpitch pitching training standards and how they should be conducted in the future.
