Victor Collins – Fastpitch instructor
Coached Class A travel ball for 10 years. Started coaching travel ball in 1998 for the Indiana Magic. In those three years our team won two State Championships. I coached the Indiana Twisters for an additional three years at the A level. I then moved to the Indianapolis teams In. Shockwaves and Indy Crush through the 2008 season.
I was a member of the Champions Edge Instruction team based out of Indianapolis.
I am most proud of the accomplishments that my daughter, Tori Collins, and I were able to achieve together. She was an competitor in 8 ASA National Championship and 3 NSA World Series tournaments.
She helped lead her High School team to State runner up in 2005, final four in 2007, and finally a ‘first ever’ State Championship 2008. She was Miss Softball, Indiana 2008. We enjoyed the journey and kept the love of the game through it all. She is now a Scholarship Athlete pitching for the 14^th ranked University of Louisville Cardinals.
For the last two years, I have been the pitching instructor at the Bat Shack.
