Hi! I’m Kerri!

I’m the founder and owner of Foster Fastpitch and Foster Fastpitch Academy—a global hub for training softball pitchers. My journey in the sport began as a four-year starter at Hoover High School, where I helped my team secure two state championships. Later, I proudly wore the title of All-Conference pitcher for the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

In the past two decades, I've been fortunate to provide pitching and hitting instruction, currently guiding 60+ students aged 6 to 21. My learning journey included valuable insights from remarkable mentors, including Ernie Parker, Vann Stuedeman (Mississippi State), and Angela Thompson, shaping my playing years. As an instructor, I've had the privilege of training with Kayla Holas (University of Houston) and Sharon O'Mara, who boasts significant international experience with the Venezuelan Women's Team and the Australian Junior National Team.

Beyond teaching, I've had the honor of coaching elite travel teams. Notably, my 18U Gold Team, the Alabama Crusaders, etched their mark in history as the first in Alabama to earn a berth to ASA Gold Nationals It's been an incredible journey, and I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and share the passion for softball with aspiring players.

In my spare time I love spending time with my daughter, Kaylee and our pup Buddy as well as traveling and exploring God’s beautiful creation!

Hi! I’m Amber!

I joined the Foster Fastpitch team in 2022 and I handle a lot of the behind the scenes that makes Foster Fastpitch what it is today — from marketing, to social media and designing programs and trainings.

My roots run deep for the love for softball, a passion that ignited when I was just a little girl. My softball career really took a significant turn when I started taking lessons from Kerri during my high school years. Kerri not only played a pivotal role in developing my skills as a pitcher but also became a great friend and mentor.

As a 4-year starter at Sparkman High School I played a role in leading our team to a State Championship. Despite facing a season-ending injury my senior year, I overcame the setback and continued my playing career at UAB for four incredible years. I was fortunate to be a part of the UAB that made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2010 to 2012.

Since graduating, my love for softball hasn't wavered. I ventured into international play as a player/coach for the Vienna Wanderers in Vienna, Austria, in 2012. Back in the US, I transitioned into coaching with various elite travel ball organizations. And 2013 onwards, I've been conducting private lessons, sharing my knowledge and passion for the game.

Apart from softball, I wear the hats of a wife to my husband, Corey, and a proud mom to our kiddos, Addie (5) and Cannon (3). Our family is complete with our adorable little teddy bear pup, Beau. We cherish traveling and spending quality time together, making every moment count.
