Head Coach Bio
Head Coach Bio
Brandon Simmons
Coach Brandon Simmons enjoyed a 27-year playing career, primarily as a shortstop and outfielder, before expanding his versatility and transitioning to catcher in his late twenties. He has been coaching softball for 13 years, including 11 years spent coaching his oldest daughter. During that time, both of their passions for the sport deepened—hers evolving into a goal of competing at the collegiate level, and his dedication to coaching at the highest level with the aspiration of moving into college softball. After his daughter graduated and continued her career in college, Simmons remained active in the sport by coaching travel softball and stepping into high school coaching.
