News out of the Sunflower State as Jeff Wallace’s Peppers 16U and 18U teams are about to be renamed and rebranded… by one letter
Previously known as the KC Peppers – Wallace
the new teams will now be known as BC/Peppers – Wallace as the long-time coach is joining forces with Homefield and Building Champions Fastpitch Academy beginning in the Summer of 2023
Wallace announced this week that his two nationally competitive travel ball teams are “joining forces” with the new partners in what should make his players better individually and as teams
“I am excited for what this merger provides to our athletes
“The investment in player development in a 360-degree approach fits the objectives of our coaching staff and what we want to do going forward
BC and Homefield’s resources take a back seat to no one
which will benefit our young ladies that aspire to be college student-athletes.”
The facilities that the BC/Peppers – Wallace will have access to include:
Wallace has built a reputation as one of the elite fastpitch coaches in the Midwest and across the nation
He and his staff have helped over 70 student-athletes gain college scholarships to continue their athletic and academic goals at institutions across every level all over the country
“I am very excited to welcome the Peppers-Wallace players
and his coaching staff to the Homefield/BC Fastpitch family,” added Travis Huenfeld
Director of Building Champions Fastpitch Academy
“We want to develop players and help grow the game here in Kansas City
This is a giant step for us at Building Champions Fastpitch Academy and with the addition of the Peppers-Wallace teams it will give us a well-known national presence in the fastpitch arena
In addition to these National 16 and 18U teams
our goal is to add a 14U National team this Fall.”
Huenfeld says he’s excited to work with Wallace and that it will benefit everyone’s game
“Jeff and his teams have a great reputation of developing players on and off the field and now with Homefield’s resources
it will elevate these players’ potential to a whole new level
Jeff has put together nationally ranked teams year after year
He has also done a great job of providing opportunities for his players to showcase their skills against elite competition across the country
as well as providing them opportunities to play at the collegiate level,” Huenfeld added
In addition to the state-of-art facilities that Homefield provides
the BC/Peppers-Wallace teams will have access to a host of resources including in-house instruction; certified trainers for structured strength and conditioning including biomechanical screenings; cutting-edge training technology such as Rapsodo
Blast Motion and Hack Attack machines (“technology that trains all aspects of the offensive side of the game,” says Eric Flores
Associate Head Coach); and world-renown national partners like Rawlings
“We know how important it is to train not only the skills of our student-athletes
but to give them the tools to succeed on and off the playing field at the next level,” Wallace continued
we want to give them every opportunity to develop and showcase their talents
Having a partner now like Homefield will elevate what we do for our past
The BC/Peppers-Wallace 16U and 18U National teams will begin their summer tournament schedule in Kansas City over Memorial Day weekend
