Joe Williams takes over the 14U team!
November 6, 2009
SAN RAMON, CALIF. – Coach Joe Williams takes over the head coaching responsibilities for the wildly successful Valley Stompers 14U team. Former head coach, Matt Nyland, decided to step down after two years of leading the team to very respectable 13th place finishes in the ASA Western Nationals in 2008 and 2009.
Joe was a popular and natural successor for the head coaching position after being an assistant coach for the team the past two years. Joe has a true love for the game that he wants to share and foster with those around him.
Like many dads, Joe has been coaching youth sports on and off since his kids could pick up a ball. Joe played sports in high school with baseball being his primary sport, which lead to a scholarship to the University of San Francisco. Joe graduated from USF and was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Joe states that some of his goals for this team are to ensure that the team is having fun competing, to develop and enhance lasting softball skills, and to prepare the team and individuals for their optimal level of play. Also as with all Stompers teams, qualify and compete well at Nationals.
