Softball Story (How did you get started?) Tell us about you-
I started in co-ed t-ball and then moved to rec softball.  Watching the older girls I knew I wanted to pitch.  I started lessons and continued to fall in love with the sport.  I started travel ball at 10U and continued to push myself and work harder to get better and compete at the highest level.

Favorite Softball memory-
Making the Elite 8 and Final Four of The Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series this summer.

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?
The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League’s Player of the Month.

Following the announcement of each League’s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month.

To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League’s monthly report.
