Tampa HeatWave is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing girls a positive experience to develop skills to play the game and skills to be successful in life by creating an environment of sportsmanship, teamwork and confidence. 

The organization was founded in 1989 and has a proud tradition of developing girls’ softball skills and knowledge of the game to successfully compete for college scholarships. Tampa HeatWave has a history of developing competitive girls that enjoy success locally and regionally. Our players are selected on athletic ability, academic performance, attitude and character. The girls make a major commitment by practicing twice weekly, taking independent lessons and skill drills, dedicating their weekends to playing in tournaments, and participating in regional showcases.
