About Angels
Showcase Softball
Ryan Leahy, Founder
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy,not on fighting the old, but on building the new"
- Socrates
Angels Showcase softball is about the journey. The transformation of young and promising early teen softball players into confident athletes and proven talents who are great students and leaders, on and off the field.
The primary mission of our program is taking great high school players and making them even better - with a focus on being competitive on a collegiate level.
This is achieved by a measured off-season program where positional skills, hitting, softball IQ and situational training are applied and in the fall and summer, tested with stiff competition on a national level. In addition, we stress a proper physical training regimen, nutritional assistance, and mental strength training.
In addition, the Angels are focused on leveraging their skills on the diamond to achieve their goals of playing softball in college, at schools that are academically and athletically a good fit for the player and student.
