OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — USA Softball has announced the coaching staff selected to guide the United States Women’s National Team (WNT) at the 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Women’s World Cup Finals this summer in Castions di Strada, Italy.
Chosen by the Women’s National Team Selection Committee, Heather Tarr (Washington) has been named the head coach, while Kyla Holas (Junior Women’s National Team), Tim Walton (Florida) and Jimmy Kolatis (Arizona State) will serve as assistant coaches on the staff.
