Jessica Morton (12U) <<< Back "This is where my real passion stems from. After having my college experience, I knew that I wanted to help other girls have this opportunity knowing that a small-town girl like me could go and play Division 1 softball or any level they wanted, the opportunity is there! Looking back, I had some amazing people in my life that supported me and believed in me. I want to be that person for other young athletes, to help them navigate their softball journey after travel ball and high school. If they work hard, it can most definitely be a reality to play at the next level!" Jessica was born and raised in Grants Pass, Oregon. She graduated High School from Grants Pass in 2003 and was a three-sport athlete lettering in: Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball. After high school Jessica received a full ride scholarship to the University of Hawaii Manoa for softball. Jessica has said many times, University of Hawaii Manoa and playing softball was the best time of my life'. During this time, Jessica traveled to almost every state, and played some of the best schools, along with the US National Team more than once. Her biggest recalled memory in college was beating UCLA at UCLA to advance to NCAA Super Regionals, then moving on to face The Vols at Tennessee. Her team split the series going to game 3 and ended up losing to one of the best pitchers out there - Monica Abbott . After college, Jessica went on to play in Australia for a few months and then came back to the island of Oahu to start her grown up life. Softball has been such a huge part of her life for as long as she can remember. Jessica grew up on a ball field watching both of her parents play coed softball . Jessica quickly grew to love the game of softball and has dedicated herself in becoming a leader to many girls and acknowledged as a decorated pitching coach. Her time playing has taught her leadership, time management, the importance of team bonding with teammates, what it means to be humble, confidence and discipline. Her most cherished memory is the time spent with my team and how we carried each other through good and bad times, all while being away from family. The bond that she created with her college team and her current softball teammates will forever be with her.
