Head Coach
A first-year 10U club team out of Sherwood, playing our first season together. This is what it means to be a Fireball. Season one is underway, Fall 2026.
Stronger, more confident, more capable than the girls who showed up in the fall. We challenge them hard, we care for them deeply, and we teach them to compete with grace.
Years from now, we want her to look back and know this is where it started.
Growth lives on the other side of easy. We hand her hard things, expect her best, and let her wrestle with something before we step in. The struggle is where she gets stronger.
We cheer the dive as loudly as the catch. We measure her against her own last week, and we celebrate the effort she brings, every time.
Here, a mistake is just part of getting better. We name what went right, fix what went wrong, and move on, so she learns to fail forward and keep swinging.
Roles are earned. We put each girl where she can grow and where she gives the team its best chance, then we stretch her from there. Growth and winning go together.
Every role matters and every role serves the team: the lineup spot, the innings in the field, all of it. We rise and fall together, and we want girls who want that too.
We win with humility and lose with our heads high. We respect every opponent, every umpire, and every teammate, win or lose.
The part nobody puts on a flyer
Excellence and joy aren't in tension here — they're the whole recipe. This is what a season actually feels like.
Walk-up songs, chants, and a bench that never sits quiet. Win or lose, this team makes noise for each other.
Fall ball is Sunday doubleheaders close to home. A full day at the field, and everyone's home for dinner.
When the Fireballs host in Sherwood, she plays in front of her own town. There's nothing like it.
One drivable destination a year, somewhere like the coast. Softball all day, sand in the cleats after.
If we do this right, these are the summers she tells stories about.
That's who's out here with us.
"We are family" is our chant, and around here, it's the deal.
Season one is underway, and this is the team it's building.
The people in the dugout
Three coaches, three daughters on this team. We're here to help her get better through patient, thoughtful instruction, with a laugh or two never far off.
It's our chant, and it's the truth of the thing. The girls become real friends who pick each other up. The parents are in it together.
Here, she's cared for no matter what, and that safety is exactly what lets us ask hard things of her.
