10U Softball Coaching Philosophy
At the 10U level, our coaching philosophy is centered around developing the whole player—on and off the field. We believe this stage of the game is about much more than wins and losses; it’s about building a strong foundation for success in softball and in life.

We focus on:

• Player Development: Teaching the fundamentals of the game in a positive, supportive environment. Every player will grow in skill, confidence, and understanding of the game—no matter their starting point.
• Teamwork: We emphasize that softball is a team sport. Players learn to support one another, communicate effectively, and value each teammate’s role.
• Character Building: Through softball, we teach lessons in leadership, responsibility, effort, and respect. These are the building blocks that shape strong athletes and even stronger young women.
• Competing with Purpose: We encourage healthy competition and striving for excellence, always with integrity and sportsmanship.

Our goal is to create a fun, challenging, and inclusive environment where players love the game, support one another, and grow both as athletes and as young ladies with confidence and character.

He recently completed his first season coaching 10U travel softball with Loudoun Inferno, where he continues to emphasize player development and team fundamentals.

As a former catcher who played competitively through high school and in college club baseball, Coach Wally uses his background to teach the game from the ground up, focusing on proper mechanics, smart decision-making, and strong sportsmanship. His approach is centered on helping 10U players grow not just as athletes, but as teammates who play with effort, respect, and enthusiasm.

Coach Wally is passionate about creating a fun, encouraging environment where young players can build a solid foundation, develop game awareness, and gain confidence both on and off the field.

Sports and coaching run deep in his family. His stepson, Austin, was an all-region baseball player at John Champe High School and went on to play Division II baseball at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. Bobby’s daughters, Ella and Cici, are both proud members of the Inferno softball program, which further fuels his passion and commitment to the team's success.

Coach Bobby is excited to support our players as they grow their skills, build confidence, and most importantly—have fun playing the game they love.
