Welcome to the Internet Home of the Orange County Hawks!
The Orange County Hawks (O.C. Hawks for short) is a fastpitch team centered in the North Orange County area of Yorba Linda / Placentia.
We play competitive fastpitch ball at the 18U level. The team is made up of student-athletes who graduate in 2014 and 2015. The team was founded by Coaches Ken Castillo and Ted Lawton in early 2010. We are an extremely competitive team that focuses on teamwork and fundamental skills on the field, and ensuring our athletes are given every opportunity to continue their softball careers into college.
We hope to aid our athletes achieve their goals, academically and athletically. We will be competing in several large Showcase Tourneys as well as "college attended" competitive tournaments throughout the 2012 season. See our calendar for more information.
We believe that maintaining a small roster ensures all players have the opportunity to experience maximum field time during games.
We generally play in 2-3 events per month (a combination of friendlies and / or tourneys / showcase). In addition, we are heavily involved with our host league PYLGSA. Our athletes have great opportunities for direct involvement with the community through our affiliation with the host league, we run tryouts, run clinics, work snack bar, and perform various other functions in cooperation with the league. This helps our players fulfill their various "community service" requirements and gives them a great opportunity to be involved with younger players as well!
