TRAINERS
BILL JACKSON, OWNER
Bill Jackson has a unique perspective on the Fastpitch landscape. As a recreational coach in Huntington Beach in the early 90’s, Bill set out to establish a winning culture at his home league. This experience led to the establishment of the “Legacy Softball Club” which developed numerous local players into college recruits to play softball. Over the past 30 years Bill's teams have competed at the highest levels of the sport. On the training side, Bill is a certified fitness coach and speed coach. Bill's quest for knowledge has never stopped and he continues to be a student of the game, in order to provide the best information and training to his students. Pure Fastpitch has perfected the methods that work in order to help young athletes succeed. Our trainers bring their own experiences but at Pure Fastpitch, we are dedicated to training the Pure Fastpitch way.
