Romeoville, Illinois:
Rick Jadron, the President of the Dirt Devils organization is the head coach of the Dirt Devils 15u team. With team members from graduation years 2024 & 2025, most of the girls on this team have been members for 4 or more years. These girls along with their coaches are not just a team, they are a family.
In a recent run of Twitter posts on the Dirt Devils page, the question was asked “What are you thankful for?” One post in particular summed up the dynamic of this team.
“I am thankful for the support and love of all my teammates. No matter what happens on or off the field we are always there supporting each other.”
Last season, these girls battled at the Indy Firecracker College Showcase and came in 2nd place in the 14u Division. Part of their winter workouts will consist of 12 weeks of hardcore training at GenuWin Sports Training Facility in Romeoville, Illinois.
These ladies will be competing at several college showcases in the 2022 season, including the Top 50 Showcase in South Bend, Indiana, the Indy Firecracker in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Nationals in Kansas City, Missouri.
