Lady Pilots Fastpitch Softball Organization

By: Pattie Hoagland

The Lady Pilots sadly say farewell to Kevin Linkous and

Jeff Beasley. Kevin and Jeff started the Lady Pilots Organization in 2007 and turned it into one of the premier fastpitch organizations in the Hampton Roads area. They have coached numerous girls throughout the

years, too many to name, and loved every minute of it. They gave many girls, who may not have had the opportunity, a chance to play travel ball and be a part

of the Lady Pilots family. They loved coaching and being a part of the game. We will miss them and wish them the best of luck in the future, and hope to see them at the field.

MISSION

The Lady Pilots Fastpitch Softball Organization is a non-profit group dedicated to the development of female

athletes age 8 to 18. Our Mission is to teach and train our athletes for competitive softball play. This is accomplished with strong leadership, and providing a supportive environment. Our goal is to highlight our

athletes as they matriculate and display their athletic skills to college scouts at Showcase Events.

Senior: Kecoughtan High School

Position: 2nd base, Catcher, 1st Base

Bats: Left Handed Throws: Right Handed

Tiffanie has played travel softball for the

Lady Pilots since 2007 when she was 8 years old. Being a vocal leader on and off the field, Tiffanie is always setting an example for the younger players to follow. Tiffanie

plays both varsity softball (which she is a two-time all-district/conference player) and field hockey.

She played ice hockey from the age of 5 and was the only girl on the travel team, which

may explain why she is always diving and getting her uniform dirty

Tiffanie, plans to continue playing softball at the collegiate level and major in Physical Therapy.

BACK TO SCHOOL A student-athlete is defined as an enrolled

student who participates in an organized

competitive sport sponsored by the school in

which she is enrolled. Student-athletes must

balance the roles of being both a student and

an athlete at their school. Many student-

athletes are subject to eligibility rules to

maintain a certain GPA in order to continue

participating in their sport. “Student-athletes

must, therefore, be students first.”

The Lady Pilots require that all it’s student-

athletes maintain a minimum grade point

average of 2.8 to be eligible to participate.
