About Bloomington Girls Fastpitch Softball Association

Bloomington Girls Fastpitch Softball Association (operating as Bloomington Fastpitch Association or BLAST) is a volunteer-managed 501(c)(3) youth sports organization in Bloomington, Minnesota that fields in-house and travel fastpitch teams for age levels from 7U through 16U. The organization emphasizes teaching fundamentals, teamwork and sportsmanship while offering progressive levels of competition (in-house for younger players and travel/Big West League play for older age groups), with coaches required to attend training clinics and families supported through volunteer opportunities. BLAST is active in community engagement — running clinics, family events, fundraising and scholarship support — and has maintained regular operations and public filings in recent years (including fiscal year 2024 financials and ongoing 2025–2026 season activities).
