NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Famer,
the virtual sports coaching and mentorship platform, today
announced a partnership with The Alliance Fastpitch, the
fast-growing national organization unifying the sport of fastpitch
softball with a player-first approach to adding value, purpose,
recognition and top-level championship play. Founded in 2020, The
Alliance Fastpitch has quickly grown to over 700 teams, and 10,000
members connecting top programs and teams nationwide through six
regional Member Leagues including the Pacific Coast Fastpitch
League, Heart of America Fastpitch League, Northeast Fastpitch
League, Rocky Mountain Fastpitch League, Southeastern Fastpitch
League and Texas Fastpitch League.
Under terms of the deal, Famer's video production arm, Famer
Productions, will work with The Alliance Fastpitch to produce a
custom library of hundreds of holistic player and coach training
videos covering everything from softball skills, drills and game
situations, to sport specific training, to leadership and mental
toughness. Typically priced at $60
annually per player or coach on the Famer app, this content will be
included free to every member of the Alliance as part of their
efforts to provide value to their members. Drills will be led by
some of the top coaches in the game of fastpitch softball, such as
Marty Tyson and Mike Stith, as well as current and former
professional and National team players like Natasha Watley. Alliance Fastpitch members will
download the Famer app and receive exclusive weekly content from
The Alliance year-round.
"Famer shares The Alliance's mission to deliver content and
experiences that allow players and coaches to reach their full
potential," said Famer Chief Revenue Officer Bill Richardson. "We are proud to have been
chosen to power The Alliance's digital member development
programming and we are excited to welcome the very best fastpitch
coaches, players and organizations in the nation onto the Famer
platform. In 2020, virtual coaching and training became a critical
component of the way many organizations stay connected to their
athletes. As we emerge from the pandemic, physical and digital
training has merged forever. This partnership demonstrates the
value of virtual coaching and mentorship extending and enhancing
the core work coaches and athletes do on the field."
"One of our goals as The Alliance Fastpitch is to drive
athlete-centric programming and create development-based resources
that elevate our game and participants," says Jami Lobpries, Executive Director of The
Alliance Fastpitch. "There is a need at the youth level to have a
centralized location for continued learning, sharing of best
practices, mentorship, and certified training. Famer enables us to
bring together our best resources, including our cohesive network
of the best minds in the game, and share those amongst our members
in an innovative manner. With Famer, we will be at the forefront of
education and innovation for our sport and will continue to add
even more value to our Alliance membership".
Famer and The Alliance will work closely to bring the best
coaching and mentorship programming exclusively to The Alliance
Fastpitch members. Along with the national membership curriculum,
local organizations in The Alliance will also be able to use the
Famer Team platform to provide interactive team training with group
chat and workouts with their own custom content on top of the core
Alliance video library. The Alliance Fastpitch empowers all
players, coaches and member organizations to develop their skills
and be their best both on and off the field.
