Family vibe unites softball team ahead of challenging new season

An air of excitement resonates throughout head coach Paige Smith’s office as the upcoming softball season approaches. Everyone in her office is working just as hard in the build up to the first game as the players and coaches are on the field. Even at 11:30 a.m. on a Friday, players were hard at work in the batting cages below Smith’s office with a trip to Las Vegas for the 2019 Marucci Desert Classic looming.

“We’re excited about training every day and we’re not afraid to fail,” Smith said “We’re excited for practice. They don’t want to leave when practice is over, and if they fail one day, they’re not so distraught that they can’t come back from it.
