About NorCal Bandits

NorCal Bandits was founded in 2012 and has provided teams for all ages of play, from 8U-18Gold. The NorCal Bandits prides themselves in offering quality coaching from individuals who have played the game. We have our own facility with three retractable batting cages and an open area to do field work. The facility is also equipped with weights, squat racks, bands, etc. The athletes are trained not only in softball, but strength and conditioning. Throughout the fall, spring and summer our strength and conditioning coach attends practices where the athletes work on their agility and strength. The entire NorCal Bandit organization focuses on development on and off the field. We find the right school for each player academically and athletically all around the U.S. We want players who are committed to the organization and want to develop into the best student-athlete they can be.

Coaching Philosophy ​

Softball is more than a game—it’s a journey of growth, passion, and purpose. The heart of my philosophy is the belief that development, both as athletes and individuals, is the cornerstone of long-term success. I am committed to cultivating a culture where players are encouraged to embrace every moment as a chance to learn, improve, and evolve.

Passion for the game fuels everything we do. It ignites our competitive spirit, brings energy to every practice, and drives us through adversity. I believe that a genuine love for softball is the engine behind sustained excellence. That passion creates a team environment where players support each other, celebrate each other, and push one another to be their best.

Hard work is non-negotiable. Talent may open the door, but effort, discipline, and perseverance keep it

The door open. My expectations for our athletes is to show up with a relentless work ethic and a commitment to give their best—every play, every rep, every game.

​

A positive mindset is a powerful tool. I encourage athletes to focus on what they can control, find lessons in every setback, and approach challenges with confidence and resilience. Mental strength is just as important as physical skill, a strong, optimistic outlook can turn obstacles into opportunities.

​

The game of softball has limitless opportunities—not just for wins and trophies, but for personal breakthroughs, leadership growth, and lifelong memories. Whether a player’s journey leads to college ball or a fulfilling high school experience, softball can shape character, open doors, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

​

I believe softball is set on a foundation of core values: integrity, accountability, teamwork, and respect. These aren’t just words—they’re the building blocks of everything we do. From the fundamentals of throwing and hitting to the life lessons learned through competition. Builds athletes to prepare for both the game and the world beyond it.

My philosophy is to develop athletes, empower leaders, and inspire a love for the game that endures. Softball is a platform, but my mission is far greater: to shape strong, passionate, and prepared individuals who are ready to take on whatever comes next.
