What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHailey loves getting to meet her new teammates that become friends, and cheering them on during a game. She also loves that she gets to play different positions during softball games.
Coach Schlief because he always pushes me to be a better softball player. He has always cheered me on from the beginning and gives me advice when I need it. I made 10u this summer now, and Coach Schlief has helped me gain confidence on the field and when I am up to bat. He is a great coach who always wants the best for everyone.
A moment that makes me the proudest of Hailey is she is always wanting to go outside and throw the ball, go to the batting cages or ask if her hitting coach has openings so she can get better. She never gives up and always wants to get better at softball. Everyone on her team, coaches and parents included could tell when something clicked for Hailey and she came in to each game with the highest confidence. That really put a smile on our faces seeing that girl come out and shine!
