“Education is one of our main NFCA pillars. Our goal is to provide fastpitch coaches the best education in the country and to do so in a variety of ways. We are thrilled to introduce our NFCA podcasts. Coaches are people on the go and our podcasts will provide the opportunity for coaches to listen and learn from their office, the field, the bus, the plane or anywhere in the country.”
