At Field Sports Training, we’re always thrilled to connect with individuals making a meaningful impact in their communities. Recently, we had the pleasure of "meeting" Britany Belisario from Hawaii, and her commitment to Little League baseball is nothing short of inspiring!
A Dynamic Leader with a Passion for Baseball
Britany is the President of the Board of the West Side Hawaii Little League, located in the Kailua-Kona area of the Big Island. Alongside her husband, Gabby, and as parents to four boys (ages 13, 11, 7, and 1), Britany is dedicated to making Little League a positive and fun experience for the hundreds of kids in the region.
But Britany’s active role in her community doesn’t stop at organizing and leading the league. She has firsthand experience with Field Sports Training products, ordering our Fielder’s Dome Mat a few years ago to help her teams train effectively on fields that are often bumpy and rocky due to the volcanic terrain.
"We use the mat for practices to simulate the unpredictable bounces we experience during games," Britany shared. It’s a great tool for players of all ages, including the T-ball teams she oversees.
Her husband Gabby also plays an instrumental role as team manager, having coached T-ball and coach-pitch teams and now managing the Major Little League division for his third year. Talk about a baseball-loving family!
The Challenges and Triumphs of Little League in Kailua-Kona
For Britany and her community, running a league in Kailua-Kona comes with its fair share of challenges. With limited kids' activities in the area, baseball brings a much-needed sense of camaraderie and purpose, drawing over 500 children to the sport.
However, some of the fields in the area aren’t fully usable, and funds raised in Kona don’t always stay local, which poses significant hurdles. Yet through inventive training methods, teamwork, and unwavering passion, Britany, her family, and the league continue to thrive.
Empowering the Next Generation of Athletes
We were so motivated by Britany’s story that we decided to send her our Catcher’s Zone Mat as an additional tool for her players. This innovative product is designed to help young athletes refine their catcher’s techniques by improving positioning and turning more balls into strikes.
We’ve also provided Britany with helpful online videos to ensure she and her players can make the most of this training tool. We’re looking forward to hearing how her teams benefit from it later this spring.
Building Strong Communities Through Sports
At Field Sports Training, our mission is simple—to empower athletes, coaches, and parents to train smarter and build a foundation of strong fundamentals. Stories like Britany’s remind us why we do what we do.
Her dedication to the West Side Hawaii Little League encapsulates what baseball is all about, fostering growth, teamwork, and perseverance. It’s a privilege to know our products are helping inspire kids in Kailua-Kona while contributing to their athletic development.
