F.A.S.T. Athletics

What F.A.S.T. Athletics does

F.A.S.T. Athletics, LLC is a privately held youth athletic programming company headquartered in Milford, Massachusetts, operating across the Northeast US — primarily New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The company delivers in-person sports programming to children ages 2.9 to 14 through school partnerships, community education organizations, and direct-to-consumer channels. Its core revenue is generated through time-based program formats — After School Programs (8-week sessions, one hour per week), Summer Programs, School Vacation Programs (December, February, April), Weekend Programs, One-Day and Half-Day Tournaments, and Birthday Parties — supplemented by sport-specific modules spanning soccer, basketball, baseball/softball, flag football, dodgeball, hockey, mat ball, gagaball, pillo polo, and sports conditioning clinics.

The underlying technology is proprietary curriculum and coach training rather than software. All coaches are college athletes or former athletes who complete the F.A.S.T. Athletics training course and criminal background checks; curriculum is led by a Director of Curriculum with a Masters in Sports Pedagogy and NY State K-12 PE certification. The company provides all equipment, positions programs as fundraising opportunities for schools, and uses the SquadLocker TeamLocker platform for merchandise/apparel e-commerce. No mobile app, AI capability, or proprietary technology platform exists.

The business model is community-led: schools contract with F.A.S.T. Athletics to deliver on-site enrichment, supplemented by direct-to-consumer offerings (birthday parties, weekend programs). Go-to-market relies on school referrals, word-of-mouth from parents and administrators, and a Facebook page. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment, no funding rounds, and no parent company.
