There was a honorific I came up with for a great group of coaches that 12-13 years ago took a somewhat un-athletic soon to be dad, who was eager to help out in the local rec league, under their collective wings. They pointed me in the direction of Bill Hillhouse and DFP.

Mike, Ken B, and Doug Rommell are true gentleman, scholars, and coaches. Last Tuesday my DD got the 'you need to put more effort in so you don't waste your parents money' talk from her pitching coach. I don't think her coach this Tuesday is going to believe its my DD - unless this weekend was all a dream.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

javasource exceeded every expectation and Anna Nickel (Miller) was incredible! Doug and I mostly sat back in awe and enjoyed the show! Incredible presentation and really set the stage for the following day’s pitchers clinics.

This volunteer catcher destroyed her competition in the timed plank with 6+ minutes! Thanks to Anna and Dicks for the $50 gift certificate!

Speed Challenge Finalists: The girl, second from the left is 12 YO, 4.10. She challenged the top-speed finalists with a consistent 57 MPH! Definite highlight of the day! Top Speed was 58 from the redheaded sophomore (4 MPH more than I clocked her all season long...)
