I have also recently been selected as a utility player for the SA Ladies National side that will be attending the Ladies 2010 World Series in Venezuela.

My name is Lisa Hill and I really want to play and/or coach softball in New Zealand for the 2010/11 season. :) I played 3 years at Oregon State University in which we made it to the College World Series and won a PAC-10 championship. I played my last year of eligibility this past year while working on a master's degree in Sport Administration at Seattle University. While at Seattle U my .500 on base percentage helped me earn an all-independent league selection and our team won the independent championship. This past summer I played softball in Sweden where I was the Swedish League Batting Champion (lead in Hr's, Average, on base%, etc.). I am played 3rd base here in Sweden and could probably play 1st, 3rd, or OF for you. I am also working on pitching and hope to be able to throw Batting Practice by this summer. I'm primarily known for my hitting, but can play defense as well if needed. My coaching experience includes an 18u gold US girl’s team, Private Lessons, The Swedish Jr. National team, A week in Holland assisting Robur ’58 youth, My Swedish team and Swedish youth, and currently I am the assistant coach at Shoreline Community College. I’ve also worked camps at Oregon State, Seattle U, And for Mark Anderton and Mike White. My international playing experience includes my trips to Sweden and Holland, and competing against the national teams from USA, Australia, China, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico at the Canada Cup Tournament- I highly recommend that program for any of your teams interested in international competition.
