Akadema has become America's hottest fastpitch softball glove for professional, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema's gloves are manufactured for professional players and are used by the pros, including USA Gold Medalists and WPSL All Stars Julie Smith and Crystl Bustos, each of whom have their own Akadema signature glove. They are designed with the professional player in mind, but competitively priced for the professional player at heart.
Many of Adadema's gloves feature their grasp clasp wrist system. The grasp clasp locks the player's hand in the glove to ensure proper catching mechanics. Additionally, Akadema uses a special leather blend on the back of the glove to keep it light and easy to break in. A fastpitch player should not have to buy a guy's glove. These gloves are built for female players and their needs.
