IN THIS ISSUE
16U Team PFX goes on 2 week College Tour
What sets PFX Athletics apart from other
companies? We each of us have the
necessary skills and experience to run
successful sporting events. Maybe it’s our
love for the game and the joy that playing,
coaching or umpiring brought us. PFX
Athletics differs from others due to one
simple fact—we have the ability to open
doors of opportunity to women and girls
through sport.
PFX Athletics is proud to sponsor a 16U
College Prep Travel Team. Our coaches,
Alison Strange, Sarah Rotta and Kristine
Dolunt; were all Division I athletes and have
a combined 25 years of collegiate coaching
experience. This travel team was built
around the opportunity to prepare players for
the next level of their career—athletically, academically and personally.
In June, Team PFX went on a 2 week road trip up the east coast to visit colleges
(Division I, II & III) and compete in ASA tournaments outside of Florida. Our
players were excited to tour each campus, learn about different academic programs,
meet college coaches and players, practice on a university’s field, sleep in actual
dorms on campuses, etc. It was an eye opening experience for each girl and now
known as the trip of a lifetime!!
If you would like to be part of this amazing experience next summer—showcase
your school/softball program, provide a motivational speech, practice time, lodging,
etc. please email Kristine Dolunt at [email protected].

THE Spring Games
Opening doors of
OPPORTUNITY
to women and girls through
sport
Inside Pitch
Meet Sarah Rotta
Sarah Rotta is our new
Programs Manager. Some
of you might know her from
running Hancock Park
during THE Spring Games
this past year. Others might
know her as she was a
collegiate coach for many
years.
Sarah was born and raised
in Michigan. Playing softball
her entire life paid off as she
was offered a scholarship to play at the University of
Detroit where she studied Education and Sports
Medicine. After an injury, she had no choice but to hang
up her cleats and decided to pursue a new career. She
became a paramedic to help others in need and did so for
almost 10 years.
In 1998, her passion for the game returned leading her
towards new opportunities of coaching on a collegiate
level. She has been the head coach of 3 different
programs: Ferris State University, University of Michigan,
Dearborn; and Macomb Community College. Throughout
her career, she has over 300 victories, won many awards
such as Conference Coach of the Year, Regional Coach
of the Year, Champion of Character Coach, etc. She has
multiple conference and regional titles as well as
appearances in the world series.
Sarah has proven to be a valuable asset to our team as
she’s one of the original coaches who participated in the
2008 Spring Games and every year following. She
recruited new teams each year and assisted our staff in
achieving success. She’s provided feedback to
improve the operations of The Spring Games. Having
knowledge of the sport (on and off the field) and offering
new programs will be vital to the growth of PFX Athletics.
HOT CORNER
We have teamed up with Suffragette Softball to have all games
at THE Spring Games live streamed. Friends and family
members who are not able to make the trip down to Florida are
still able to support your team and cheer from a distance at an
affordable cost.
Suffragette also provides on-demand features that are benefi-
cial to coaches and players so they can watch game film at a
later date/time. To view upcoming events and prices, please
go to www.SSBLive.com.
Coaches—this is a great recruiting tool!
With our new recruiting coupon (FREE to college
coaches), you can recruit anytime from your office, field or
while traveling.
