Way to go Katie!

Yesterday will held our 6th annual Aliya Hesseltine hitting event. I was a great time seeing all the girls knocking the rust off and getting for their season.

Thank Josh Kassmeyer for umpiring all the games, you must have done a great job, i didnt see any of the girls giving you a dirty look😂

Good luck to all!

GO BLITZ!
GO GOLD!

Conquer From Within.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our families!

Alexis and Erica are DI players and former Iowa Blitz/Iowa Gold players! Check out the camp they are putting on.

Happy to have the Houge girls back this winter break offering TWO opportunities for youth softball players. There camp was well attended last year, so secure one of the limited spots while they remain available!

We are looking to add players to our Spring & Summer Rosters. We have openings for either Spring Only or Spring & Summer teams. Tryouts will be held at our indoor facility, The Ridge Sports Academy, on Sunday, December 15th.

Iowa Blitz and Iowa Gold focus on player development and athlete growth. Through a variety of offseason training programs & camps, experienced non-parent coaching staff, and access to both indoor and outdoor facilities we pride ourselves in helping players achieve their goals and grow both as softball players and athletes in general.
