The New Jersey Sparks are a non profit 501(c)(3) Charitable organization. We strive to train and develop players in the sport of softball while emphasizing, teamwork, sportsmanship and camaraderie. We compete at the 12U, 14U, 16U & 18U levels and play an "A" level schedule. Our 18U showcase team concentrates on college showcase tournaments. In 2016 the 18U Showcase team participated in Pennsbury, Tradition, Delaware Invitational College showcases, Tom Doyle, New England's Finest showcases among others. The Sparks are not a recreation or town travel team. Our teams play a competitive tournament schedule, world series, state and national events.
The fall consists of a competitive tournament schedule. This is where each group really comes together as team. The girls get comfortable with each other and it allows the coaches to work individually with each and get them prepared for a more rigorous tournament schedule the following spring and summer. All teams participate in winter training at an indoor facility.
