Rick has been coaching for so long, it's hard to remember a time when Rick wasn't coaching. Regardless of the sport, Rick has always had a knack for keeping things fun for the kids on the field, so much that they are learning and working without any of it feeling like work.
When Rick's oldest daughter expressed interest in softball back in 2003, they both found the sport they loved. It wasn't long before his youngest daughter was old enough to hit the field. Before long, you could be sure to find him on a softball field almost every weekend, either coaching, playing or umping.
Rick graduated an 18U team in 2013, after winning multiple runner up titles, as well as a District Championship. A new team was formed the following summer. By 2018, they had rebuilt to win the C World Series in KC! Coach Rick is now coaching a younger team that is entering its first year at the 16U level.
