Find out next week who these two impactful and beloved club coaches in the back are... and why they mean so much to their player in the front with the scary-looking smile!

Deadline Is Friday: Don't Forget to Tell Us... "My Favorite Club Coach Is" (& Why!) April 19, 2026

After Line Drive Media’s Carlos Arias did a week-long look at top club coaches in the country, we had a huge response from players, parents and club coaches all reaching out to us asking if they could honor a club coach who’s meant so much to them.

Coach Greg Dickel of Iowa Premier, a highly respected and successful club coach, with his 16U team after the final game of the 2025 Clearwater Fall Classic.

One thing became exceedingly clear:

… these club coaches, for the most part, are really, really appreciated for how they impact so many lives!

So we decided to let YOU in the softball world share your thoughts and appreciation for these great men and women who spend so much time making a difference in their players’ lives.

So here’s what we’re doing:

  • Players, parents and others associated somehow with the club coaches… share your thoughts via email on what your favorite club coach does, has done and how he/she has helped make a difference… simply, share with us why the coach means so much to you!
  • Indicate if it’s OK to use your quotes and use your name with your submission (give your permission to do so).
  • E-mail the following:  

 

    • Your name
    • Who you are (player, parent, club coach or someone else)
    • Club team (also, where it’s based & the age division)
    • Where you live (city and state)
    • Club coach’s name
    • In your own words, tell us what this coach means to you!
    • Optional but recommended: send a photo!

 

  • Club coaches: we’d like to ask you to do something similar… share with us what OTHER travel ball coaches impress you or have made an impact in your life.
  • E-mail your thoughts & photos to: Brentt.Eads@LineDriveMedia.com
  • IMPORTANT! Deadline for email submissions is THIS Friday, April 24 and the multi-day series will start Monday, April 27.

 

There may not be a national “Club Coach Appreciation Day,” but we’re going to honor these impactful folks and use our platform to recognize them.

Now… you just need to tell us what club coach(es) have been important in your life… and what they mean to YOU!
