Amador girls baseball players have a new coach to help them continue their pursuit of EBAL championships and tournament victories
Julie Marshall, a full-time employee in the insurance industry who teaches baseball and softball after work, has signed on as the off-campus coach at Amador. She is already conducting field workouts for girls interested in joining the softball team, with the first scheduled practices starting on Feb. 4.
“I’ll be looking for girls with a good attitude about playing the sport, who have performance and athletic skills and want to play the game,” Marshall said. “Of course, a little bit of experience helps.”
Marshall said starting pitchers are often the hardest to find, although all good skills from all nine players are important to any winning team. She expects to cut the varsity team to about 13-14 girls by the time the season opens in late February. Marshall also coaches the Dons’ girls JV team, which can accommodate more players.
Marshal, who lives in Stockton, has coached 16 to 18-year-old girls in club baseball sports leagues.
