The Spokane Knockouts have A Commitment To Excellence. We stand for developing the softball skills necessary for young women to compete at the highest level of softball competition. Players who work hard at developing their skills both physically and mentally will have a sense of satisfaction at the end of the season, not only individually, but also as a team.

The attainment of exceptional athletic skills or the winning of games is secondary to encouraging and developing the qualities of honesty, loyalty, commitment, discipline, responsibility, team work, respect for others, and good sportsmanship. In our program, we attempt to make each player conscious of how meaningful her specific role is to the total team effort.

In the Spokane Knockouts fast pitch softball organization, we teach an accelerated level of softball so that our young ladies will be prepared to play at the collegiate level. We have qualified coaches on our staff that not only teach a high level of softball, but also teach the young ladies about life.

Tournament play is essential in our organization. We work hard at scheduling a series of competitive tournaments throughout the year. We research and put together tournament schedules consisting of opportunities to play at a level best suited for our players and their respective athletic skills.

Our primary goal is "Devotion to our team and players in order to teach the young ladies lessons in life as well as softball. We also want to help them build friendships and relationships lasting a life time. We hope and pray that their love for Fast Pitch Softball will continue to grow through their experience with the Spokane Knockouts and the people that make it all possible.

Our club is dependent upon the commitment and dedication of our many volunteers, and we deal with one another with courtesy and mutual respect.
