First of all, we take softball seriously. Most travel teams do that. Those are table stakes these days. What makes us different is that we are trying to find the balance between serious softball and the rest of life. Our team is close and supportive of each other – the coaches, players, and families. We are focused on empowering our players to become great people, first and great softball players, second. And from that, we believe that our players will succeed at a greater rate than other programs.
