We Are Hartford Velocity

Velocity is a girls fastpitch softball club based in Hartford, Wisconsin.

Is our Velocity family the right fit for you and your daughter? Great question.

We don't like sales pitches and imagine you don't, either, so we'll keep it low key. In fact, most of the pitch is this: please visit with us at a game or local tournament, check out answers to common questions below, and please contact us for more.

Now the sales-pitchiest part: We share common goals with (and make similar claims to) other good clubs. Honor, Respect, Teamwork, etc. Yes, we are human, imperfect, but we're also motivated by a desire to see our girls develop in life, not just the game. So we invest in that direction and welcome like minded families.

If these things resonate with you, we’d love to talk. If there’s something you’d like to know that we don’t cover here, please reach out.

Common questions

• What is your approach to player development and coaching?

  We bring in outside trainers to help our coaches, so every girl gets developed. Show up and do your part, and you play. Expect us not to play favorites. Competitive? Yes, but not at the cost of development.

• What should new families expect?

  We are parents who care about our daughters and appreciate the positive impact team sports have in preparing them for life. You know the buzzwords and phrases we’re working towards: discipline, learning to handle adversity, developing communication skills, working as a team, building lasting friendships, and so on.

  In this regard, we are like other great clubs in the area, but we do regularly get comments from new families that they feel very welcome and at home with us. The family feel is a common first impression.

• How long is the season?

  Our season runs from September through July.

• What age groups do you field?

  Most years, we run 10u through 18u.

• How do you handle conflicts?

  As much as we’d like to say there are never any conflicts, humans can behave like humans, and we have humans in our family.

  We make it easy to reach out to our Grievance Committee with any conflicts you are experiencing or observing. Rather than letting things sit, we want you to tell us so that we can work towards resolutions.
