Coach Mark Howard

He has been in coaching since 1999, he began coaching recreation softball. Interestingly in Va. Each school has a team, so in elementary school age, you play recreation ball for your school. So like middle and highs school here the children on your team are from that school. He enjoyed that quite a bit. When his family moved to the area, in 2003, he assisted coached as needed as positions were already filled. He began full time coaching again in 2007 with the Carolina Gators. As a Side not this is when Coach Jeff and he worked on a staff together in 2008/2009. In 2011 he started the Topsail Tidalwave for local players to participate, as there was a need. That team split at the end of the year with age differences and reformed under Coach Jeff the next year.
