F.A.S.T. Athletics LLC was created by three former athletes and teammates whom all found one common interest in their lives, their passion for coaching. Dave, Andrew and Aaron are the active owners and have been coaching for nearly 10 years. They want to make a difference in each and every school they work with which is why they help to raise funds for their towns to put back into the elementary/middle schools for new books, new score boards, and even new bleachers.
F.A.S.T. Athletics offers top-notch athletic programs for children of all ages. The programs are for all skill levels where everyone is encouraged as well as motivated to be the best they can be. Our mission is to bring an increase of confidence, aerobic activity, a greater sense of TEAMWORK and SPORTSMANSHIP, but most importantly improvement of overall fitness. We firmly believe that Fitness, Agility, Skills, and Teamwork are four key elements of embracing a healthy lifestyle.
