Coach Trinidad is currently coaching in his 25th year of girls Fast pitch softball. Starting in 1983 at El Rio Bobby Sox in Tucson, AZ. There he coached many young girls on regular season teams as well as All star teams. "In all the years of coaching Bobby Sox, ASA and High School, all I have are memories of teaching young ladies the game of softball. Many go on to play in college/accept a scholarship for a another sport or pursue their college education through academics. They always reminisce of playing the team sport of softball as an experience they never forget."

One of the many special young ladies that coach Trinidad had the pleasure of teaching the game of softball is Tairia Flowers. At first a young Tairia (a native Tucsonan) began her softball career in the outfield. But that was just not suited for her, she needed to stay busy. That year our team needed a catcher, so Tairia volunteered, thus starting a her career. She excelled at position and made the roster to the All star teams for the next 4 years. Notice was taken by an Elite ASA team called the 14U Arizona Cats at the time coched by Clark Enterline & Gale Bundrick. She stayed in the Cats organization through the 16u team playing for Mel Byrge. She then was recruited by the Phoenix Storm, played for Rick Beach, and excelled there. Tairia eventually was offered a scholarship to attend UCLA. She made the Womens Olympic teams and played in many parts of the world. Her determination, dedication and just being a great young lady eventually paid off as she now is an Olympic Gold Medalists for the USA Olympic softball team. What a great accomplishment for her, If there was ever a role model that young softball players should follow, it IS Tairia Flowers.

Congratulations T ... for winning the GOLD at the Olympics in Athens and Silver in Bejing!

We are all BLESSED to know you
Lots of Love T ... Coach Trinidad
