Having a successful fall season, the Lincoln Loaded 12U team is looking to add a few special players that will take this team to the next level. The team is 07 based, but will look at and consider all strong and prepared 08’s as well. All positions will be open as the coaching staff moves into evaluations so if you are looking for rubber time, anchoring the dish, an infield home or charging through the green grass to take flight on a diving catch this opportunity is for you and your family!
Lincoln Loaded has established itself as an organization with high integrity and self-accountability. This expectation and responsibility is not taken lightly! All players looking to join this team will be expected to push themselves to be the best they can be at all times and work together to accomplish team goals.
Coach Bio’s
Head Coach: Darrin Kitchen coached Division 1 Baseball for 5 years and softball for 7 years before returning to school to earn his Masters and Doctorate degrees in teaching physical education and coaching education. He was a Division 1, scholarship athlete who earned 1st team All-Pac 10 honors his senior year at Washington State University. He has served as an athletic director for 2 years, in addition to overseeing high school athletics as an Administrator for 7 years. Darrin’s philosophy in coaching is simple: 1) to teach the girls how to play the game of softball, and to do so with determination, perseverance and grit; 2) for players to obtain the physical skills necessary for competition at a high level; and 3) for players to develop positive relationships with their teammates and coaches.
Assistant Coach: Dan Vergara has coached Roseville Girls Softball for 8 years. He played baseball in high school and into the junior college ranks at American River. He was born and raised in Roseville and has owned a business for 21 years. He feels that his baseball experience along with coaching within Roseville gives him a well-rounded skill set to teach all of his athletes the skills necessary to prepare them for their futures.
Highlights:
• Practices will be held in the Lincoln/Rocklin/Roseville area.
• We plan to participate in tournaments that will challenge the athlete.
• Friendlies will be scheduled to improve skill and development.
• The organization works closely with Extra Innings, in Rocklin, for indoor practices when necessary.
• Support and stress the importance of grades and work with the parents to promote academic growth in their student-athlete.
If you have what it takes to be the best, push yourself, be a teammate and work as part of a unit, then we want you to join us on our adventure!
