ProStar Fastpitch End of Year Roster Update
ProStar Fastpitch currently has two teams. On our 18s we have a roster of 12 players. On our 16s we have a roster of 11 players. Of these 23 players 14 are either signed / committed / offered or at the top of a recruiting list. Our goal is have the other 9 recruited by the end of the summer!
We are looking to add one additional player to both teams. Position is not as important as ability but the 18s would prefer an OF and the 16s would prefer a P or a C. We would consider any position as many of our players are versatile and can play multiple positions.
Our teams play a spring / summer schedule participating in top showcases and tournaments throughout the Southeast and the Midwest. If interested in learning more about our program please email Coach Chattin at [email protected] or text him at 423-488-0695. You can also learn more about our program from our webpage and social media pages.

Calhoun High School's Anna Taylor Signs with Erskine College. Anna Taylor (Class of 2019) was a verbal commit last spring with Coach Alleen Hawkins and the Erskine College softball team but officially signed today at a ceremony at the Calhoun Media - College and Career Center among friends, family, teachers, coaches and fellow athletes. Anna has been an outstanding 2B/OF for the ProStar Fastpitch Organization and played second base for the Calhoun Lady Jackets helping Calhoun accumulate a 26-10 record this past season in order to make it to the GHSA Elite 8 in the Class AAA state playoffs in Columbus. Throughout her high school career, she was a part of two state championship teams and one runner-up finish playing for the legendary Coach Diane Smith. Anna is in her third year with ProStar Fastpitch and has been a mainstay in the starting line-up. Anna was selected to participate in the Georgia Dugout Club's Senior All-State Game this past weekend. She was also named to the 6 AAA 2nd Team - All Region. Anna is the daughter of Joe and Michele Taylor and has a brother Joseph who is a college freshman. At Calhoun she has maintained a 3.9 GPA and is a member of the Senior Beta Club, serves as Treasurer for the CHS National Honor Society, and also serves as Secretary of the Senior Class Student Government. Anna attends Calhoun First Baptist Church and has volunteered at Calhoun Pre-K as part of the Teaching as a Profession pathway. At Erskine College Anna plans to major in Accounting. Erskine College is a member of Conference Carolinas. Coach Hawkins is a long time collegiate coach with success in multiple conferences but more importantly she is very successful at turning young ladies into strong women through the sport of softball. "I would like to thank my parents for supporting me in all of my endeavors. They have been my biggest fans no matter the activity and they have taught me the concepts of dedication, loyalty and hard work. They have also stressed the importance of family and faith in God. Softball is important to me but it is a game to me and it does not define the person I am or the future I have -- it is a part of my journey," states Anna. "It seems like I have played and loved softball my whole life but it was only in the last couple of years that I really believed and knew I might have the opportunity in college. I have attended camps and visited several campuses but I really fell in love with the Erskine College experience. It was the opportunity to play for Coach Hawkins, the campus itself, and the people I met on my unofficial visit that made me know this is where I wanted to be. I would like to thank all of the coaches I have played for but in particular Coach Smith and the Calhoun staff and Coach Chattin and the ProStar staff. Coach Chattin has been able to help me grow mentally and physically as a player and as a person. I am blessed to have teachers and coaches who have believed in me," Anna shared. "Erskine is getting one of the toughest competitors that has ever played at Calhoun High School. Anna is a fierce team leader who is well respected by all her teammates. She truly loves the game and there is no doubt she will find success at the next level. We will miss her competitiveness, positive attitude and fun she brought to our team," stated Diane Ralston, CHS Softball Coach. "The ProStar family and myself are very excited for Anna as she takes this next step on her journey into adulthood. She is one of the most balanced young ladies in our program and I contribute that to her parents. She works extremely hard and is 100 percent into our practices and games but she also has a strong interest in family, academics and God. Anna came to us from the strong Calhoun High School program and we immediately put high expectations on her. She came to us as an outstanding athlete but I would like to think that she has polished her skills and improved her mental game as a part of ProStar Fastpitch.
I am extremely proud of Anna the softball player —Anna the student —but most importantly Anna the person. Her future is unlimited and today is just another day on her journey. But it’s a significant day to reflect on her accomplishments and to let the realization of the next step of her journey to take hold of her future actions. It is truly a beginning and not the end. ProStar and myself have found Anna’s family to be a blessing and I look forward not only to the coming year but to following Anna as her growth continues., “Chattin shared. “I have known Erskine's Coach Hawkins since the mid-80s when she recruited one of my players and I had the pleasure to be her assistant at UGA. I think she is a perfect fit for Anna. She is a strong coach fundamentally but she has a true heart for her players. I expect Anna to continue to blossom as a player and a person under her tutelage," stated ProStar Coach Steve Chattin.

ProStar Fastpitch is excited to announce that we have added Bailey Davis a 2021 middle infielder/ outfielder to our 16 under team.
Bailey is coming to us from a strong Select program in Utah. She has played for TC Thunder and Utah Fastpitch Club. Her and her parents (Angela and Clint) recently relocated to Ringgold GA. Bailey will be attending Heritage HS. When not playing softball Bailey is an accomplished violinist and likes to draw. She has an older sister that played college softball at BYU-Hawaii and an older brother currently playing collegiate baseball at Southern Virginia University.
Please welcome Bailey and her family to ProStar Fastpitch #ProStarProud
Monday May 29,2017
Due to multiple injuries and defections I have several announcements concerning teams that many of you will not be happy with and quite honestly the Executive Board and the Coaching Staffs have debated over all weekend. This decision was predicated by the extreme number of season ending injuries that have occurred at the 14 and 16 under level.
And as the leader of the organization I will take full responsibility for the decision but the complete Executive Board is in agreement and after the coaching staffs discussed it I think they understand the process and what we are attempting to accomplish.
I will not beat around the bush but let me say as the person in charge you care for the individual player / you want the individual teams to win / but ultimately you are responsible for the strength of the organization and doing what is best for the Organization as a whole.
Effective immediately we are shifting rosters with some 14s going to 16s / some 12s going to 14s and folding the 12s. This will leave seven girls without a team for the last 5 tournaments of the year and for that I apologize.
These moves will strengthen the overall roster of the 14s and the 16s and will provide us with versatility in the game lineup. This also gives us a head start on next season as we finish the summer.
The remaining seven girls are the ones without a team for the final few weeks. That is not what we wanted and it is not a good thing for us but it is necessary for the good of the whole and I will do everything in my power to assist you in finding another team for the last few tournaments if you wish my help. If you do not want our help I totally understand.

Thank you all ProStar girls and families that volunteered this summer for all your hard work and dedication to this program.
Additions to the ProStar 14 under roster
We added 3 new players to our roster this week. Here is a short synopsis on each..
# 12 Mikayla Teems is going to project as a power hitting C / INF. She is an 02 birth with a graduation date of 2020. She attends North Whitfield and has played Select ball with the Legends. The staff was very impressed with the way she handled herself at tryouts.
# 22 Abbi Harden is going to project as an OF / C with an very good work ethic. She is an 02 birth with a graduation date of 2020 but will be playing high school ball at East Hamilton this spring.
# 2 Dalyn Muse is an 02 birth with a graduation date of 2020. She currently attends Ashworth Middle and will attend Gordon Central next year. She projects as a P with a potentially strong bat. Defensive position beyond P will be determined. She currently takes pitching from Maddie Monroe.
These three were told their future is a year away but I have challenged them to speed up the time table and push for time this summer. They all chose ProStar Fastpitch with no expectations of playing time -- their only expectation is improve and be the best they can be!
We are always looking to strengthen our team for the present and the future. ProStar / our coaching staff / and myself have a great track record of taking talented young ladies and making them into elite players if they work hard and put in the time to improve their skills. I expect these three to continue that tradition!

Welcome kaci tilley to Prostar 16u Roster
In our effort to continue growing and improving the ProStar Fastpitch program we are proud to announce the addition of Kaci Tilley to our 16 under team. Kaci is a 2019 graduate and attends Rhea County High School. Kaci brings a power bat to our team and is expected to contend for a spot in the middle of the batting order. We expect her to be a home run hitter and provide protection for some of our already strong bats. On the defensive side of the ball she is true utility type of player capable of playing every position except catcher. She is quite capable of being a starter at one position for us but we envision her being able to play any INF and OF position. She will also log some innings in the circle. She has been a member of some strong ASA teams out of the Knoxville area.
ProStar Fastpitch would still entertain the idea of adding one more player to our 16 under roster and would definitely like to add a couple of strong 14 under players to round out our roster.

Welcome alaina reece to the prostar fastpitch 16u roster
I am excited to announce that we have added Alaina Reece to our ProStar Fastpitch 16s roster. Alaina is a potential game-changer in the middle of our line-up. She is a 3B / 2B / C that will bat in the 3-5 slots in the batting order. She has natural God-given talent of power and speed. I project her to play more Catcher in the spring with Savannah Turner in HS ball and more infield in the summer exposure season.
Alaina attends Calhoun High School and has been a member of their State Championship teams and has played at an extremely high level in Elite Select ball. In football terms she is a 5-star recruit and will immediately be one of the top two or three athletes in our program. More importantly she wants to improve and has a very high motor to compete and win! She comes highly recommended and performed outstandingly at her tryout.
Welcome to Alaina and her family! #ProStarProud
