The Juice Power Softball Organization will be conducting tryouts for Fall/Spring 2012-2013.  Our teams will be regionally structured across Texas.  Our commitments include Longview - September 2012, (16U) Grand Prairie - October 2012 (16U), RM Tournament – October 2012, (12U, 14U, and 16U), Sparkler Jr. / Sparkler – Colorado 2013 (12U, 14U, 16U) to name some of our major events.  We will be fielding 3 teams in the following age divisions:

12U – This is a second year team will consider all 2000 birth years and strong 2001 birth years.  This team has a strong returning nucleus and we are looking to fill a few open spots.  Our pitching crew is intact; we are especially interested in a catcher with bracket experience and a couple of athletes who know how to run down fly balls. This team WILL travel in the spring and summer of 2013.  Please do not tryout unless you are prepared to travel next spring and summer.

14U – This is also a second year team.  We will consider all 1998 birth years and strong 1999’s.  This team also has a strong returning nucleus of veteran ball players.  This team also WILL travel in the spring and summer of 2013 including outside the state of Texas.  Please do not tryout unless you are prepared to travel next summer.  These players also receive website/video recruiting tools and sites as a part of our organization. 

16U Exposure team – This will be a first year team.  Looking for leadership from 1996’ers as well as seasoned select 1997’s.  This team will play in as many exposure events as our budget will allow.  These players also receive website/video recruiting tools and sites as part of our organization. 

Our teams are coached by Ray and Cindy Cowart - Ray – 7 time National Champion, 2001 TPS National Batting Champion, 20 year factory player, 3 year Long-Haul Bomber.  Cindy – 2 time National Champion 7 year factory player, former D-2 player, John Grissom - 5 time National Champion, 20 year factory player including team membership with the original Smythe Sox as well as the Steele’s Silver Bullet Men’s Major Softball Team, and Scott Kinsey- successful select coach in the Austin area.  Our kids also receive special instruction and training from such professionals as Randy Brown (shortstop Red Sox and Marlins organizations) and Kirk Hall – our current pitching coach retired 3A head softball coach and 18U gold head coach.  We also have an extremely successful strength and conditioning program. 

We believe the only way to success is through hard work and perseverance.  We believe in strong fundamentals with meticulous execution.  We teach power hitting and walking techniques as well as innovative proven defensive strategies.  Our goal is to further the careers of our players by providing them with as many accomplished skills as possible thus promoting and facilitating their player paths to play not only through high school but ultimately to collegiate level athletics.  We also believe in strong partnerships between school and summer coaches with the ultimate single goal of moving our players to the next competitive level.  From our athletes we not only expect discipline, courage, and a burning desire to better their last performance, but to also to exhibit personal and player behavior above reproach, as not only are they representing themselves and their families, but also their team, our organization,  and ultimately institutions. 

We are a proud member of the Louisville Slugger team.  We also are a certified 501(c) 3 organization.  We have corporate sponsorship as well as actively fund raise to forward our goals.  Our monthly fees are reasonable and all-inclusive.  We are a three year old organization with 30 years of contacts inside this game.
