** END OF 2012 SUMMER SEASON ** 

Congratulations to all the girls, coaches and parents who have worked their butts off to get the team in top performance mode this season, including ending the year placing 3rd at the TCS State Qualifier and earning a berth to '12 TCS Nationals in Reno, NV! 

We had a lot of new players added to our family this season and the team is looking better than ever.  Every player did a great job and we can't wait to see the great things this Gold program will acheive for the upcoming '12 spring & summer season. 

Have a great Christmas break and we will see you in January for the start of what will be a very successful year to come!!!!

Love,

Jim & J.D.

Congratulations to Chelsea Davidson on committing to Friends University (NAIA - Wichita, KS - Class of 2016).  Your smile and hard work has been an inspiration to our team and we know you will make us even prouder than we already are as you go on to your collegiate career.  Rage is so happy to be your final travel team for this coming summer.  - Love, your CA Rage Gold family.

Congratulations Shannon Kent for signing with Loyola Marymount University, Div I!!!! You have worked so hard switching over to the left side offensively and now you are unstoppable!  Loyola is lucky to have such an all around athlete, student and person.  Enjoy your last summer of Rage-ball.  We will miss you in the fall but we can't wait to hear how many stolen bases you rack up for the lions!!!! - Love, your CA Rage Family

Congratulations to one of our outstanding Rage Gold pitcher, Kellie McCleve, who has worked so hard and made her college dreams come true.  We are so proud of you and what you have acheived.  Salt Lake Community College is so lucky to have a person like you.   - Love, your CA Rage Gold family.

Congratulations CA Rage Gold on winning the AFA National Championship this last weekend.  It was a long tough 4 days of serious competition but the CA Rage Gold came through with flying colors to win another national title.  Led by the stellar pitching of Belinda Renne, the 18U debut of Vanessa Froussine, with back up on the mound by Pit Stop and Chelsea and unbeatable offensive skills by every player in the line-up, like Monique and Emily with their homeruns and Bre Duran with her multiple game winning hits and her killer drag bunts.   

Other players like Katie, Andi and Belinda contributed all around serious offense and defense.  Shannon's unstoppable slapping and running speed left the opponent's defense in a haze. Colleen's defense and Britt's outfield support also helped to solidify Rage's victory.  

The signed seniors helped Rage shine in what would be their final travel ball appearance before heading off to start their collegiate careers.  Hailey, Tayler, Stephanie, Mo and Monica... we will miss you but glad you were here to guide us to victory in your final travel ball championship. 

Great job ladies we are so proud of you and what you have achieved.  All of your hard work and dedication is paying off.  Also a big thanks to the coaches (Jim, Joel, Mike and Jeff), our awesome team mom/scorekeeper/go-to-girl Vicki and all the supportive parents who help make our team so great.  Have a great couple weeks off and we will see all you '12 - '15 girls Aug. 21st!!!!
