Overview

Mission

The Vernon Hills Stingers Fastpitch Association is a girls - Youth Fastpitch Softball Organization. Our main goal is to instruct girls up to 18 years old on playing fastpitch softball. We are run by volunteers.

What it reported doing in 2025

Each year the Vernon Hills Stingers instruct 75-100 girls in fastpitch softball. The girls range from 8 years to 18 years old. The main purpose is to instruct and teach the girls the game of softball and to give them a competitive platform to learn the game with the main purpose of allowing them to contribute to their high school softball team when the day comes. The organization has been in existence sine 1995. We welcome former players to return in their adult life and coach our teams if desired.
