Our Head Coaches

---

 Hello, I am Coach Jay McCleary, the current coach of The Intruders 10U team. With over 20 years of experience in coaching youth baseball and softball, including 10 years in fastpitch softball. I believe in improvement through encouragement and emphasize teaching proper mechanics in hitting, throwing, pitching, and catching to prevent injuries.

I have engaging drills that reinforce essential skills for lifelong play. While our team mainly competes locally, we plan to travel further in Michigan and Ohio as the players grow older. I also support participation in local little leagues to enhance practice and leadership skills. Although the girls may not win every game, they will continually improve each time they step onto the field.

 I am Coach Natalie Fortune, and this is my second year coaching for The Intruders organization. I played competitive softball for most of my life, primarily with The Intruders. After my playing career ended, I decided to start coaching. I began as a right-handed batter and middle infielder, but by the end of my career, I was a power-slapping lefty and outfielder. I have extensive knowledge of all field positions except pitching. I believe that training and development are key to a successful softball career.
