About Us
Established in 1999, the Irvine Sting organization founded by 18U Head Coach Dr. Blair Ota is a girls' fastpitch softball program that balances athletic, academic and personal development. The program stresses individual accountability and responsiblity in order to achieve players' goals of playing softball at the highest competitive levels.
In order to achieve this, Irvine Sting participates in numerous exposure events, including Surf City and Champion's Cup, and has had berths to the Boulder Colorado Independence Day Tournament and PGF Championships since their inception.
All practices are held in the City of Irvine with batting cages at Col. Bill Barber Park and Northwood High School.
