MTEF RISING STARS

This summer 2015
Coach Greep to participate in
MTEF Rising Stars tournament


Wesley Wolverine Head Coach Juli Greep never stops coaching. Volleyball in fall. Softball in spring. More softball while eyeballing potential recruits during the summer.
 

Head Coach Juli Greep
Last year, she was at the helm of one of several special Triple Crown showcase fastpitch teams at the Triple Crown Western World Series in San Diego, CA. This showcase event, conducted outside of regular tournament play, featured a crowd of 37 visiting college coaches from 23 states. In years prior, she has coached Triple Crown showcase events in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This summer, however, Coach Greep will have at least one showcase coaching experience that is much closer to the Wesley College campus. It is games played just north to New Castle County, about an hour's drive away.   


It's the 2015 MTEF Rising Stars tournament held for one day only, Thursday, July 16, at Delcastle Rec, McKennans Church Road and Duncan Road, Wilmington, DE. "MTEF" stands for the McKensie Travis Educational Foundationestablished in memory of McKenzie Travis, an avid softball player, who died in a car accident January 22, 2006, at nineteen years old.
 

2015 MTEF Rising Stars tournament will be held 
Thursday, July 16, at Delcastle Rec, Wilmington, DE.
The MTEF tournament plans call for 8 teams of 12 players each drafted from recruitable fastpitch softball players. Coaches will be drawn from volunteer travel and college teams.

Besides the showcase opportunity for pre-college players, MVP awards at these MTEF Rising Stars games are $1,000 scholarship for first place, a Crystl Bustos autographed DeMarini bat for the runner-up slot and $100 Outback gift card for third position. (A tournament committee votes on the winners.)
