Toys for Tots Tournament

BlueFire Girls Softball recently competed in the Annual Toys for Tots program at Baldwin Park and Newbridge Park. This program was born out of a vision by Danny Gomez, a new BlueFire coach, nine years ago. Each year, Danny and his wife Maribel work tirelessly on this tournament which raises toys for tots through the Marine Corp. Each player in the tournament is asked to bring one unwrapped toy and the Marines come to the field, take pictures with the girls and collect the toys. The Marines then distribute those toys to children who are not fortunate enough to have the pleasures we all have.

BlueFire Pride – Our 2016 College Commitments

The BlueFire organization is proud to announce the college commitments of its most recent graduating class in June, 2016. Last August, BlueFire was fortunate to have Glenn Greeley and his wife Fran join the organization and present an all Senior Showcase team with the main goal of assisting, educating and finding those girls a place to play college softball. That goal was accomplished for nine (9) BlueFire girls who will go on to play college softball, or who have been invited for a tryout throughout the United States. “The list of college these girls will be playing and attending is diverse and spreads across the country”, explains President Joseph Maniscalco proudly. “Greeley put a plan of action in place and has been a phenomenal and instrumental part of our organization. I only wish he came to us years earlier. He is a great coach, mentor and guide for these young ladies”.

Attention Seniors (1998)

NY BlueFire Softball is seeking dedicated high school senior student athletes. With 10 years experience building our organization, we have forged a reputation of excellence and success at the college circuit. Recently, we hired a Director of Player Development to assist and guide players through the college recruiting process. She has played and coached at the collegiate level and has a vast amount of experience, knowledge and connectivity. Our philosophy is different than most. While we respect all travel organizations, the way an athlete succeeds on and off the field is by playing the game they love. Instead of carrying an extensive roster of girls with limited playing time, we seek athletic female athletes who can excel playing all weekend long.

Our Graduating Class of 2015

At BlueFire Fastpitch, we have a different approach to the college recruiting process. We are not simply encouraging girls to haphazardly play softball in college or attend the school who we have contacts with or which show some degree of interest in the athlete. Instead, we hired a Director of Player Development who assists and guides the process to make the right fit for the student athlete. If the result is attending college and pursuing academics, then we are just as encouraged and proud of those girls. Our current graduating class received an enormous amount of academic money to attend excellent colleges. They are ready to embrace the next stage of their life, whether it be through a continuation of softball or a concentration only on their academics. The real key to their success, however, is what they will become 10 years from now and how their will impact the World. We believe they are ready for the next stage.
