JUNIORS — THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO GET SEEN 🎯 September 1st is the moment college coaches can contact you directly… but that only matters if they already know who you are. If you’re in 11th grade, it’s time to take control of your recruiting journey 👇 ✅ Send consistent emails/texts with new film, grades, and schedule ✅ Be ready for calls and visits — have thoughtful questions prepared ✅ Show coachability and versatility at showcases and tournaments ✅ Keep your academics, SAT/ACT, and eligibility center in order ✅ Don’t wait on one school — explore all levels and opportunities Your exposure depends on your effort. Start now. 📲 DM me “JUNIOR PLAN” and I’ll send you a free checklist to help you stay on track. 👥 Tag a junior who needs to see this!

SOPHOMORES — IT’S TIME TO GET ON THE RADAR 🎯 10th grade is the year to build momentum in your recruiting journey. You’re not just learning the game anymore — you’re learning how to get seen. Here’s where to start 👇 ✅ Create your recruiting profile + short intro video (60–90 sec) ✅ Email coaches with your schedule, metrics, and film updates ✅ Attend camps + clinics at schools on your interest list ✅ Build relationships with your travel coach — referrals matter ✅ Track your metrics (EV, 20-yard, pop time, etc.) and keep improving Don’t wait for coaches to find you — make it easy for them to know who you are. 📲 DM me “SOPHOMORE PLAN” and I’ll send you a free checklist to start building your exposure. 👥 Tag a sophomore who needs to see this!

1-1 on the day at the WMU camp. Thanks @marleewilson and @WMUSoftball for hosting. It was a great experience. Strong pitching from 2027 @Ellyhagen15 and 2027 Sophia Ciri. Some details to work on but nice to get back at it after 6 weeks off.

WMU team camp this weekend. Girls are excited and ready to get back to some live ball! Follow along on GC - Firecrackers VanAssche 16u @UMDearbornSB @Albion_Softball @coachjen_gvsu @CoachBenschoter @svsu_ryan @CoachDanVitale @FCSoftballMI @schumann_jake @AlmaScotsSB

I had a great time at Albion today, I had such an amazing experience and I loved every second of my time there! Thanks to all the players and Coach LaFave! @Albion_Softball

@ruby_hanna09 @CoachDanVitale @btholl @CoachBenschoter @chris_stelma @svsu_ryan @coachjen_gvsu @UMDearbornSB @marleewilson @Kyle_coachK Keep an eye out for this 2027. Loads of power, cannon for an arm and lightning quick reflexes at 3rd. All around great teammate who puts the team above all else!

My teammates and I had a very good weekend down at the Great Lakes Premier Fall Showcase. Couple good wins and learned a lot about us as a team. Here are some of my offensive and defensive highlights from the weekend.@FCMIVanAssche @AlmaScotsSB @Albion_Softball @Franciscan_SB

@kendradamm09 @d1fastpitch1 Great job this weekend!

We had a good weekend at the @d1fastpitch1 Great Lakes Fall Showcase and here are some of my highlights! I finished the weekend offensively with a .444 BA and a .545 OBP, with 2 doubles and 4 RBIs! In the circle I earned a win, and was able to continue to work on my spins to keep batters off balance. Behind the plate, with the help of my SS @KendallPeckens we controlled the running game getting runners at 2B! Time to get back to work! @T2Chelenyak @CollegeBDJocks @ExtraInningSB @AGLSoftball @SoftballRecruit @PrepSoftball @CoastRecruits @LineDsoftball
