FAQs

Why did you leave LYSBA?

Coaching recreational softball has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me, as I truly enjoy watching players grow and develop throughout their softball journeys. As a board member, I was happy to take on a variety of administrative responsibilities to help ensure the league operated smoothly and effectively. 

However, when interpersonal conflicts within the board began to outweigh the enjoyment I found in contributing, I recognized that it was time to step away. My decision to leave was not out of disagreement with their mission (though there is misalignment in some of our values), but rather a personal choice to preserve the enjoyment I find in coaching and supporting youth softball. 

I want to be clear that I sincerely want every local softball organization—including LYSBA—to continue to thrive. They  offer valuable programs and opportunities that will continue to serve many local players well. My goal is simply to contribute to the local Louisville & Superior softball community in a way that allows me to stay positive, engaged, and focused on what I love most—helping kids enjoy and grow through the game. 

Why did you begin 80027 Softball?

I founded 80027 Softball to strengthen and support the development of recreational softball within Louisville & Superior. Growing up, I was fortunate to experience community-based programs that thrived thanks to the dedication of parent volunteers who managed and led local baseball and softball leagues. That experience shaped my belief that recreational softball should be entirely community-driven and operated by volunteers—without financial compensation—to maintain a focus on fostering participation, teamwork, and a love for the game.

If my child does not reside in the 80027 zip code (Louisville & Superior), can they still enroll in rec softball with 80027 Softball? 

In most cases, yes. Our clinics are open to all participants regardless of where they live. While our teams prioritize maintaining a strong local presence (Louisville & Superior) by including a significant number of players from the 80027 area, we do reserve space for players from outside the zip code. If you have any questions regarding eligibility or availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out for clarification.

How many recreational teams will you have?

For the Spring of 2026 season, our plan is to offer a small number of rec teams primarily targeted for the younger age groups 10U and possibly 8U.  As we grow momentum, we plan to offer the older age groups as well.
