Welcome to SYA Xplosion Fastpitch: advanced softball training that prepares athletes for high school and college recruitment. We emphasize quality over quantity and skills over stats – we measure success by our athletes’ evolution – not merely wins.
Our Coaches are NFCA members and USA Softball ACE Certified Instructors who’ve all undergone national background checks. Fairfax County varsity coaches lead our high school teams while experienced softball parents coach middle school.
