The 1st team of the organization derived from a softball team in the Gardendale Girls Park. The memebers of this team won the Alabama 8u All-Star State Championships and then ventured out into the world of travel ball where we combine with a few others to form a team sponsored Ready Mix USA. This team went on to win the 8u World Series. The next year we once again came together, however this time under the name of Birmingham Thunderbolts which was sponsored by MorrisShea Inc., and won the 8u World Series again (2 consecutive years). The past few seasons this group has played under the banner of the Birmingham Thunderbolts 97 and Purple 96. They went on to participate in USFA World Series, ASA Regional’s, NSA and USSSA State Championships and in 2007 earned a berth to the ASA Nationals by winning the Hartselle ASA Regional Qualifier. Then the time came once again to venture out and form what is now called the Birmingham Crusaders 12u Softball Team.
In our most recent season as the Thunderbolts Purple we won a total of 4 tournaments and runner-up in 3 more making a total of 7 out of 14 tournaments in which to Bolts at least placed.
Come and be a part of our Crusade!
