The Broncs

Head Coach: Karen O'Neall

Karen has been playing softball since primary school and coaching off and on since High School. She is a current Level 1 and working on her Level 2 and is also a Level 1 Scorer. She started coaching in Ipswich because no one knew the game well enough and she had played for a few years already. Karen coached and played there for a few years before moving away. She started coaching again because there weren’t enough coach volunteers to coach her children how to play the game of softball. Karen has also helped coach representative teams of different ages as well as her children’s teams as they have come through. She enjoys coaching children and likes watching them develop into players of the game and helping them to love the game as much as she does.
