Affiliations
I coached a Hutch Hornets travel ball team from 10u to 16u for eight years. I move on after the dissolving of this organization and helped build and coach the Hutch Bluejay's travel 17U team followed by the 18U. As the players all moved on to college ball I created the 309 Youth Athletics consisting of T ball, baseball, softball, soccer, football, basketball, and cheerleading teams. All of these were 7-8U to 18U, though we did not have teams in every age group. After two years this organization was turned over and absorbed by the Nickerson Rec Commission. Outside of baseball, I have coached two years of junior high girls Y basketball and helped coach Y football, flag football and tackle football.
