We’re excited to officially announce the coaching staff for our U17 Travel Team this season!

Leading the way as Head Coach is Kennedy Dietz, joined by Assistant Coach Ciara Brown.

Kennedy brings an incredible background to the team. A standout pitcher at Judson University (Elgin, Illinois), she also has strong local ties—having previously coached in the Sarnia league, spent two seasons as an Assistant Coach with the U19 Sarnia Heat, and led several SMAA pitching clinics. Kennedy’s passion for the game, combined with her knowledge and positive energy, will be a huge asset as she helps guide this group to the next level.

Ciara Brown joins the staff as Assistant Coach, bringing both talent and experience. A Northern Collegiate graduate and product of the London Lightning Fastball program, Ciara played four seasons as an infielder with Lambton College. Her competitive experience and love for the game make her a fantastic addition to the bench.

We’re thrilled to welcome both Kennedy and Ciara to the coaching staff and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll have on our athletes this season!

$300 for the Season

Since the Sarnia Minor Athletic Association (S.M.A.A.) was founded in 1947, one principle has always guided us: every youth athlete in Sarnia-Lambton deserves the chance to play—regardless of financial status. 79 years later, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do today.

We’re here to help families make sure every player can take the field or course this season—no matter their circumstances. Whether it’s S.M.A.A. Football, Sarnia Hawks Baseball, Sarnia Heat Girls Fastball, Challenger Ball, or Lambton Jr. Golf, we’ll help make participation possible.

Need financial assistance? We can also help you apply to Jumpstart or YRASP, and if you’ve missed the registration deadline, we’ll make arrangements so your player doesn’t miss out. All requests are handled with care and kept strictly confidential.

Sarnia Heat Girls Fastball provides each team with a selection of approved bats; however, we understand that some players prefer to use their own. Before purchasing a personal bat, please ensure it is certified for Female Fastball play.

All bats must display at least one of the five official certification logos. Bats without any of these certification marks are illegal and cannot be used in any Female Fastball League game or practice in Canada.

Using a bat without proper certification poses serious safety risks, as uncertified bats can cause the ball to leave the barrel at excessive speeds, increasing the chance of injury to pitchers, infielders, and base runners.

Please note that Coaches, Umpires, and Sarnia Heat Executives may inspect bats at any time during games or practices. Any illegal bats identified will be removed immediately.
