FUTURES TAKE 3rd Place USSSA 16U WSQ Xtreme Summer HEAT
FUTURES TAKE IT ALL! USSSA BIG APPLE WSQ CHAMPIONS!
The Tsunami Futures 14U-02 Finally regained its form in winning the USSSA Big Apple Classic this past weekend. Seemed like forever since winning back to back 16 and then 18u events followed by back to back runner up placements earlier this season. Winning is accumulation of all things good and bad and the girls have been tirelessly working towards being their collective best for upcoming Nationals. Couldn't be more proud of the efforts put forth by everyone. Well Done Futures!
What to do on a 100 DEGREE NIGHT ? Have a mixed practice and scrimmage with 18 GOLD team with our 14U Futures. One Word- AWESOME! Part of our overall mission with TSUNAMI is to give back as we send our older girls on to play collegiately is to come back and work with teams. Last night was another great example of working side-by-side fully integrated and then playing a scrimmage against each other. Jimmy and I are so proud of all of our teams but clearly evident was open and willingness of our Gold team to want to help our girls prepare for Nationals. The night proved again that if you believe you can, you will. And that is something that we believe in in our teachings. Special Thanks to Gold Coaches. KM/KP/LM for having fun and working hard -TOGETHER!
Tsunami 18U Elite team has had back-to-back successful weeks of softball.
Father’s Day weekend saw the girls bring their Dad’s a solid runner up finish in the NJUSSSA Father’s Day tournament held in Union, NJ. The team then hit the road and headed out to Mechanicsburg, PA for the PA Softball Firecracker College Showcase. After a slow start the girls did not disappoint as they won 3 straight on the final day of the tournament to capture the 18U Playback Championship. Good Friends, a night in Hershey Park, and another weekend of quality Tsunami Softball! Great Job Girls!

14U Futures-02 USSSA WSQ 16U CHAMPIONS
The 14U-02 Futures have been hard at work learning how to complete at 18U level this winter playing in HC/Club league at Diamond Nation. Our 7th/8th Grade glass of 2002 Players have proven by combining a winning coaching philosophy and hard work and dedication they can 'learn' how to compete. Our program requires the girls to accept that losing is part of life, and those potentially humbling experiences when competing on softball or in life serve them all very well. It is not about winning, but more that what life prepares you for. Once you accept hat you can embrace whatever comes your way. The girls didn't win a game this winter at 18U but tied 2 very good teams and lost a close game. With that under their belt we played this past weekend and really took the practical experience playing up again and went wire to wire winning their BID to USSSA Nationals in Ocean City Maryland for later this season. Girls battled hard as we only had 9 players they just would not be denied. So proud of them, not for winning, but for believing in our program and letting results speak for their efforts.
Kudos you piper cubs...Kudos. Perhaps the best compliments keep coming when people learn we are young and they say....wow that is awesome for them...Go Tsunami...Still Proud..Still the best after all these years.

The 12U Team hit Sterling VA Hard at PONY Nationals this past week and came within inches of making the Elite 8 Round before bowing out in an incredible game vs. Ashburn Shooting Stars in a 4-2 Loss which closed the teams run at a National Championship! Ashburn Shooting Stars have one of the best softball programs in the country preparing their girls for College and was a pleasure playing them and look forward to seeing them again soon!
They Finished 5-3 and along the way played some amazing TEAM softball against the best teams around. It was truly amazing to see the determination and effort during the hottest of conditions and still the girls never gave up. The Girls fought right to the last out in our final game and the emotions after the loss were so difficult to imagine as they didn't want the magical run to be over.
It was a True Sign of what being a Tsunami Player is all about.
