History

In the summer of 2012 The Lake Norman Lightning Organization was founded by Tommy Strahan and Chase Colbert. After the recreation season came to an end in 2012 they decided that they wanted to do more for the Lake Norman area in the sport of softball. Their idea was to build an organization that allowed each team to possess its own unique identity but together they share a common mission and vision of placing player development, character/personal growth, community involvement and team success as their primary mission.

They chose girls that have a passion and desire to play a game they love and wanted to develop their skills so they could compete in middle, high school and ultimately college softball.

They started with one team in their first summer season and added a 12u team in the fall of 2012. In the spring of 2013 The Lake Norman Lightning added a 10u team giving them 3 teams in the organization. In 2016, The Lake Norman Lightning Organization will have six teams representing them (10, 12u-04 12u-03, 14u-02, 14u-01 and 16u).

In the summer of 2014 the organization had three of their four teams place in the top 5 in The Summer World Series, with the10-u team taking home the organizations first World Series Championship. Since that time the organization has won many Championships among all their teams in ASA, NSA and Top Gun.

The LKN Lightning Organization players are from Lancaster, SC; Concord, NC; Charlotte, NC; Mooresville, NC; Cornelius, NC; Huntersville, NC; Davidson, NC; Denver, NC and Waxhaw, NC.

The Lake Norman Lightning is one of the region’s most respected organizations in travel fastpitch, offering competitive travel-ball programs for young ladies of all ages.
