Since 2012, the Patriots have produced 72 college signees and all seniors have signed to play college softball. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of the coaches and players within the organization. The Patriots have teams across the United States and Canada. Being able to spread top-level softball across the country is the foundation of the Patriots. Growing the game of softball, while also competing at the highest level is the ultimate goal.
Tammy Vermeulen
Recruiting Liaison
Tammy Vermeulen is original from Long Island, New York. She began playing softball at the late age of 16 years old. She was assisted and helped by so many people which allowed her to play the game she loved. As a Jr, about a year into her playing career for the Gold Coast Hurricanes, she received a scholarship to play at Louisiana State University (LSU).
After College, she felt like it was her duty to give back to the game that never seems to fail her and had given her a second chance in life. She coached at the DI, DII and JC level, teaching many young athletes about her experience through the recruiting process, her ability to overcome and still have the drive to succeed. She also took what she had been taught from one of the nations top coaching staffs at LSU and tried to implement the values and visions into her own coaching style. Many of her teaching is focused on the mental side of the game as she feels if you cannot have a strong positve mindset it is hard to be successful in this game.
Currently, she is an Assistant Coach at Baton Rouge College, Head Coach of the Marucci Patriots 16u SE, and Recruiting Liaison for the Marucci Patriots. She travels around the country connecting with College coaches to conduct College prospect clinics, combines and showcase tournaments. In addition, she also connects with parents to explain and help understand the recruiting process.
