Freeman was a three-time All-American and was the 2013 Pac-12 Player of the Year before she went on to Play with the USA National Team and USSSA Pride in National Pro Fastpitch.
"We are excited to welcome Coach Freeman to the Lions family. As a highly respected coach in the softball community, she brings a wealth of knowledge, connections and enthusiasm to the Lions. Her experience at the highest level of competition and her genuine desire to lead student-athletes to reach their full potential spiritually, academically, athletically and socially made her an excellence choice to lead the next era of the Vanguard softball program," remarked Jeff Bussell, Director of Athletics.
The Nike Baseball Camp at Vanguard will again be led by Head Coach Robert Pegg. Coach Pegg had an instant impact on the Lions baseball team. Since taking over in 2013, Vanguard have gone 226-156-2. In 2019, the Lions had a made a post-season run but were defeated in the conference championship game. The baseball camp was a big hit last summer in its inaugural year, with both parents and campers; “He made new friends with shared interests. He said he feels more confident in batting and learned a lot. He wants to return next year as the experience was GREAT!” stated Parent Yvonne V.
The Softball camp will take place from July 13 - 16 while the Vanguard Baseball Camp will be held from June 29 - July 2.
