The Lady Sharks Gold - Stars were very successful this summer season placing all of their available seniors into college level softball programs. We expect to fill as many as 10 positions for fall. All positions will be open for new players. Come join a great organization with an outstanding history of placing players into colleges.
If you have any questions, want more details or just want to talk softball please do not hesitate to contact Coach Rob (408-353-2223 or casie96@aol.com). All tryouts are confidential.
Here is a recent email we received from a college coach regarding our program:
"Hi Rob,
You are so awesome. Thanks for this email. It helps me a bunch and I will definitely get out and watch you this next week.
You are the one and only travel coach that makes me think maybe I could coach travel ball one day if I moved away from college ball. Your dignity, honesty, integrity all make me think there is a possibility in travel ball to be about more than winning.
I truly applaud your advocacy of girls who play for you. I sure do hope once in a blue moon, you get a thank you card, email, phone call.
See you this week!
Coach X"
LADY SHARKS MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
I am extremely happy to announce that the Lady Sharks Gold - Piper team and South Bay Stars organization have merged together. This merge will allow our team to combine with a number of younger (12u, 14, 16u) teams and provide them a nationally recognized Gold team. We will continue to use our current name for the short future as we transition to the new organization. The entire staff will stay on also and assist the younger programs grow.
The South Bay Stars are a newer organization to the softball community but they will provide to us the use of their 17,0000 (3 story) square foot indoor hitting and pitching facility in downtown San Jose. Additionally they have a full workout area, running lanes, a speed and conditioning coach, professional pitching coach and multiple meeting rooms.
Our entire coaching staff felt that the South Bay Stars are a terrific organization and we are privileged to be able to join them. You can see more about them, their staff, tryouts, lessons etc. on their web site:
