Mission 13U National
Team Profile
The goal of this team is to create the most competitive 13U team in the state from 2011 born players and make it an amazing experience. Players on this team will form a winning culture based on respect, love of training and commitment to process in order to build results next Summer. This team is expected to return two of the best 13U pitchers in the state who pitch 60mph, with one open pitching spot available. Most importantly we will focus on what we can control - which is creating a positive environment for girls to try, fail, dust themselves off and feel good about continuing that process.
This team will be built on defense and the ability to move the ball around in space and control the game.
Head Coach
Lindsay Burr
Lindsay Burr played competitive fastpitch for the St. Croix Surge before playing in college at St. Kates where she graduated with a Sports Science degree.
Lindsay is an assistant coach for Macalester College for the third year and is a full-time director of operations for Mission. Having a coach being able to be full-time allows her to be very dedicated to this team. Her players will benefit greatly from that.
She is a joy to be around, very positive but with a commanding style of communication.
