Kelsey
12U Coach
Hi, I’m Coach Kelsey! I started competitive softball at a young age and continued to play through high school and into college. Over the last 14 years I’ve coached numerous 10u-16u teams for C.V. Vengeance, as well as coaching high school freshman/sophomore teams. I truly love the game of softball and enjoy getting to share my love of the game with all the girls I’ve coached. I’m excited to be part of Clutch and give motivated girls in Cache Valley an opportunity to develop their skills at a faster rate in a more competitive environment. From the teammates to the life lessons to the work ethic, I truly believe softball is so much bigger than simply a game and I’m excited to see where this year will take us!

Shae
Coach
I started playing baseball when I was 6 years old and quickly fell in love with the game. I eventually transitioned to softball after some of the boys' parents weren't too happy about me outplaying their sons! I tried out for softball my sophomore year of High School and earned a starting spot on Varsity, lettering all three years at Sky View High School. I continued on to play collegiate softball for two years before deciding to follow a different path- one that led me into the world of business and coaching.
Over the past 15+ years, I've coached athletes of all ages and skill levels, and my passion lies in helping individuals set goals, grow their confidence, and become better both on and off the field. I also spent six years living in St. George, Utah, where I had the privilege of running the Special Olympics program for Southern Utah for four of those years. Coaching , for me, is more than just the game- its about building people up and helping them reach their full potential.
Lyndsey
16/18U Coach
Hi! I'm Lyndsey Madrigal and am a recent graduate from Utah State University with my degree in sports marketing and entrepreneur! I also played at BYU in the BIG12 conference and at Salt Lake Community College. I was a first basemen, Carter and power hitter. I currently hold the record at SLCC for single season and career home runs with 37 and 52 and was awarded 2x 1st team All Region, and SWAC POY. I'm originally from Price, UT. I played for California Batbusters and Utah Freakz growing up so competitive softball has always been second nature to me. I have been coaching the past four years for Diamond Training, Utah Freakz, Logan Dynamite and private lessons. I am excited to help the future of softball succeed and get them to the next level!
