Relentless Travel Ball Teams: Coaching Youth Regularly, Raising the Game
With Shawn Barefoot and Calvin Dennis at the reigns, the Relentless travel ball organization started humbly with one 14u girls’ softball team. Driven by the pure love of the game, the organization now boasts numerous teams spanning various age categories – 8u, 10u, 12u, 14u, and 18u - that's not even mentioning the 4 baseball teams too. What a "League of Their Own" they've built!
Now when Shawn met Robert Ramos. Well Robert introduced relentless to Area Stars which is a college prep team. Now if you haven't met Robert well he is a man worth meeting. I have had the pleasure of not only meeting him but also watching him work with the girls. Trust me this man is no ordinary college scout but also a college coach he knows the game and he knows how to teach it.
At the heart of this success lies a passion for the sport and an unwavering commitment to the young athletes who just want to play the game they love. This organization isn't about trophies or bragging rights, but rather nurturing a joy for the game and fostering an inclusive, supportive community on and off the field. These aren't just teams; they're families bound by common love for the sport.
The team of coach-mentors is something truly special. They tirelessly coach the girls and boys, imparting invaluable wisdom and experience. They tirelessly break down the complexities, craft strategies, and help each player uncover their unique strengths. Whether it's mastering the killer curveball, perfecting the sliding catch, or finessing the batting technique, our coaches have an eagle's eye for detail and a heart full of dedication. We as coaches also love when players we coach threw the years return and is now coaching.
Shawn and Calvin have created an environment where wins are celebrated, but personal growth and development shine as the true rewards. The ballfield transforms into a learning playground where each player, young or old, learns about teamwork, resilience, and the art of balance between competition and sportsmanship. It's about raising players who learn to respect not only the game but also their competitors.
But, it’s not all work and no play. Fun and laughter are an essential part of the deal too. After all, what is softball or baseball without the joyous whoops, high-fives, and the zestful cheer of ‘play ball’?
Relentless travel ball teams are more than just teams; they are a testament to the commitment, love, and dedication of a community rallying behind the children who are chasing their dreams. With dirt on their uniforms, sun on their faces and love for the game in their hearts, they continue to play, learn, and grow. Thanks to Shawn, Calvin, and the tireless team of coaches, it's an unstoppable force. It's not just a game. It’s a way of life.
Relentless started with Shawn Barefoot and Calvin Dennis having a dream. A dream to let girls that wanted to play softball play and not let money stand in the way. Well,I have been a part of relentless from the start and have watch their dream come true!
