Mission
To strengthen the physical and mental skills of our female athletes through competitive travel softball while teaching leadership, sportsmanship and core fundamental life lessons to empower future success.
Vision
Our vision is to compete at a high level while continuing to teach and advocate the fundamentals of softball. The Northern Kentucky Bandits are growing and becoming one of the leading college preparatory softball organizations throughout Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. We foster the growth of our young lady athletes to maximize softball talents, to excel in the classroom and to become successful societal members through life lessons obtained while playing our great sport. Winning will not always be the top priority, but while learning to compete, our athletes will engage in a winning spirit. We practice and play to achieve goals and grow as individuals, teams and a distinguished organization. Our battle cry is "Go All Out!" and that is what we'll do on the field and continue into our lives and careers beyond softball.
About Us
The Northern Kentucky Bandits began in 2005 to develop a successful program dedicated to teaching teamwork, sportsmanship and the fundamentals of fastpitch softball in a family oriented atmosphere. It has since grown to an impressive organization hosting 100 athletes on 11 teams. Formed with the intention of establishing and supporting a family oriented atmosphere, there is a high level of sibling participation and positive parental involvement. Our outstanding coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable and focused, instilling excitement about the game players of all ages. As strategic partners with HITS (“the new Home of the NKY Bandits”), we offer practice year round and also train with college coaches for those players that desire to focus on their skills during fall and winter months (optional). Our fees are kept low through various fundraising opportunities. We will play in competitive local summer leagues and tournaments with the majority being within 1-2 hours of Northern Kentucky. Also, some age groups attend college clinics and play in a one week long National Tournament. We will continue to establish and maintain NKY Bandits as the areas premier youth fastpitch organization.
