Erica Beach, who has an extensive softball resume, will serve as head coach.
“I am incredibly excited about our 2020 roster,” said Coach Beach. “We have a great mix of athletes from all over the country and from all different levels of college ball. I’m impressed with their diversity and athleticism and know we will be competitive.”
Coach Beach continued: “I truly believe this summer’s season will be an opportunity for these young ladies to dive back into the sport they love and get their competitive edge back before returning to their collegiate institutions.”
The FGCL is still planning on opening its inaugural season in June. The league will consist of seven teams that will compete in a 25-game schedule.
“We all miss the sport and can all feel the excitement building as we get closer to the season. These ladies are hungry to compete, hungry to work on their game and hungry to get back into a team atmosphere,” concluded Coach Beach.
