With our first year doing an elite high school girls Desert Storm team, we started this journey with one thing on our mind, and that was to give our local girls the opportunity to get better and play in front of college coaches. It was a bit rough in the beginning but with consistency, hard work, dedication, and not quitting, not only did our girls accomplish those goals, they surpassed them! We beat teams from all over the US and even Australia while winning national showcase which was one of the biggest tournaments. When we first started we were playing on the back courts (if you know travel ball that means you're not being seen by anyone but your family lol). By our 3rd tournament our girls made it to prime time courts where over 50+ scouts from every college you could think of would sit and watch us play and we were also asked to join one of the biggest girls travel ball girls program that's sponsored by Nike!! That's not too bad for our first year having an high school girls elite team. We're extremely proud of this group of girls and the best part is they played in the 17u division at the age of 16 and was successful. So next year when they're 17 they will already have a year of experience. We do this for kids and there future, us coaches at desert storm don't need the fame and glory, these girls are the ones who deserve the recognition. It's amazing how much local talent we have but we don't utilize it like we should, but parents and players are starting to see the blessings these kids are getting so next season will be bigger and better! We wish all these girls the best of luck with there high school teams this upcoming season and we can't wait to start back up once it's over. We already have a waiting list for next year tryouts so that's a great sign of girls wanting to get better and hopefully get the chance play at the next level! Thank you to all the parents, family and friends for the support of this season, thank you to our sponsors for helping our girls, and thank you Coach Greg Ramirez and Coach Ryan Towner. Now it's on to the next part of season which is our middle school and elementary teams which will start up in September. Check our website by the end of August for our tryout dates and times, See you all soon!

1st Weekend of Tournament play for our new season kicked off this past weekend for all age groups, and overall was a great learning experience! We played some excellent competition and it served as a reality check for most of our kids and parents that have not participated in the travel ball circuit. Although we had mixed feelings about the results we continue to be encouraged with our progress and are certain that the best is yet to come. No tournaments scheduled for this upcoming weekend only practice.
