Our organization:

The Finesse organization originated in 1991. The program grew and improved each year. From 1997 to 2003, the Finesse 18U team advanced every year out of the Midwest Region to the ASA Class A Nationals, and also competed in the AFA and USSSA nationals.

In 2004, with a team of outstanding athletes who agreed to a more rigorous practice and training program, Finesse decided to compete at the Gold level. Finishing second in the regional qualifier, Finesse advanced to the elite Gold Nationals in Marietta, GA.  In 2005, Finesse won the regional tournament to advance to the Gold Nationals in Salinas, CA.
 
Our program:

Finesse strives to compete at the highest levels, against the best teams in the country. Athletes excel when they challenge themselves to compete at the highest levels possible. That requires dedication and desire to put in the extra hours of practice and training. It takes players, coaches and parents who understand the process:

  • Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals during the winter months.

  • Skills development and experimentation at spring tournaments, sacrificing wins if necessary to prepare and build for the summer.

  • Competing at the highest levels in June and early July.

  • Peaking in late July and August.

The results of the program speak for themselves.  Finesse players are seen by the top coaches in the Midwest and around the country who come to Gold tournaments to see the top talent in the land. Finesse players develop skills obviously evident to the college coaches who recruit them. Finesse players compete against top talent, preparing them for what they will see in college. Finesse players learn how to play with other top-level players, developing the key traits that college coaches want – confidence and team spirit.
