2011-2012 Season - Team & Tryout Information 


For the upcomng season, the Thunderhawks organization will be merging our 16U/18U team into the Hotshots organization as part of the "Hotshots-Baker" team. That team is seeking experienced players that are utilizing club/travel ball to prepare for their college years. Our roster consists of players with HS graduation years of 2013 and 2014 as our team plans to play primarily 18U tournaments/showcases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Colorado.

Our team's coaching staff will consist of Jim Baker, Paul Elliott, and Lindsay Kelso. Lindsay is a former Division I, full-scholarship softball player from the University of Memphis who does not have a daughter on the team.

We conduct practices in a manner that simulates the college softball experience. Our tournament and travel schedule will focus on high-quality college showcases to increase the player's experience level and recruiting exposure.

Our goal is to prepare the player for the expectations of a college-level female student-athelete so that they can succeed in academics, athletics, and activities alike.
