Thursday, February 9, 2017 | Softball
OKLAHOMA CITY – USA Softball, the National Governing Body of Softball in the United State, announced University of Florida assistant coach Jennifer Rocha to the 2017-2019 USA Softball Women's National Team Coaching Pool.
Rocha, who enters her 12th season as an assistant coach for the Gators, joins 21 other coaches from across the country to make up the list. Candidates from the pool will be selected as head coaches and assistant coaches for the Women's National Team (WNT) and Junior Women's National Team (JWNT) for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 competitive seasons.
"I am very happy and proud of Jennifer for being named to the team USA coaching pool." UF head coach Tim Walton said. "This is both an honor and a privilege for our program to have Jennifer working with Team USA. We certainly know in Gainesville how valuable Jennifer is to not only our pitchers but to our entire program. Team USA is getting not only a top quality pitching coach but also one of the finest human beings I've ever met"
Selected to the coaching pool by the Women's National Team Selection Committee (WNTSC), coaches may be required to participate in international events, player evaluations, selection camps and other specified events as part of the evaluation process. Coaches selected from this pool will have the opportunity to coach in some of the highest level softball competitions in the world over the course of the next three years.
The schedule for the WNT and JWNT has yet to be finalized for the 2017-19 cycle, but those international calendars will be highlighted by the 2017 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Junior Women's World Championship to be held in Clearwater, Fla., 2018 WBSC Women's World Championship to be held in Chiba, Japan, the 2019 Pan American Games to be held in Lima, Peru and the 2019 WBSC Junior Women's World Championship to be held in Irvine, Calif.
