@ TC World Series, San Diego, CA

Triple Crown (TC) Sports is well known for organizing premier sporting events across the USA.

Next week's TC World Series of championship softball, played July 14-19 in San Diego, CA, is no exception.

As part of Triple Crown's promised superior experience for attending players, the event has signed up 37 coaches from 23 states, who, outside of the regular tournament pool play, will teach clinics, coach separate showcase teams, and recruit for their college or university softball teams.

Among this year's coaching staff will be Wesley Wolverine Head Coach Juli Greep.

“I am part of a group of coaches who will run a clinic and showcase games on Monday, then stay and recruit at the event all week,” said Coach Greep.

There will be a lot of talent to watch. In its 18th year now, the TC World Series is a popular venue.

A total of 214 teams will compete in this tournament. The 18U teams number 95, while 16U teams top off at 119, all from hometowns across the country with the majority traveling from California and nearby Arizona, Colorado, or Utah.

Monday's pre-tournament showcase games, run by the college coaches, are set up to ensure every player has the opportunity to be showcased that day at her primary position.

“Triple crown is the event in Las Vegas I attended in the fall of 2012 where we picked up Whitney,” added Coach Greep, “so I know there are quality athletes who want to travel and experience the east coast style of living while receiving a quality education.”

to a Wolverine during 2014 season

“Whitney” is Wesley Wolverine sophomore C/3B Whitney Dibb who hails from La Mesa, California. The Wesley College campus, of course, is 2,700 miles away from her ultra-sunny Southern California home. Still, Whitney, quite remarkably, seemed to quickly and easily adapt to Southern Delaware's small town living, studying, and very competitive softball play.

Let's hope this year Coach Greep finds another Whitney or two looking eastward for a small school's first-rate, more personalized, collegiate experience.
