Coach BJ & Coach Rachelle
Coach BJ and Coach Rachelle grew up here in Sacramento not far from High Five Sports. They both grew up playing sports and in large families. Coach BJ attended elementary school just down the street and high school at Hiram Johnson graduating in 2000. Throughout his life he played other sports (football and basketball) but his love for baseball started young right down the street at Tahoe Tallac Little League. He continued to play throughout high school and ironically stayed local coming back to where it all began and giving back to his community by coaching his children for the same little league a number of years ago. 

Coach Rachelle has a similar story in that she played many sports throughout her life and found her passion for softball started at Fruitridge Little League then moving the TTLL where her family was heavily involved in running the little league for most of her childhood.

Needless to say, the two found themselves back at the little league after their own playing days were over and found themselves as the best teammates for each other! They went on to have a team of their own in their FIVE children and came back to where it all began opening High Five Sports in 2017. The two have been coaching since 2005 with their oldest Maliah from T-Ball, to Elementary school, to Travel Ball. Coaching is where they found their passion and what they knew they would be doing even when their children grew passed the game. They even started their own softball organization The High Five Hornets with their youngest daughter Miyani coaching young softball players for a number of years. They coached for over a decade before opening High Five Sports and when presented with the opportunity, they knew what they had to do. Having the facility so close to their community and being able to give back to where it all began for them was a win win! 

They now are able to train athletes to help them prepare for a future using their talents for future success. This place is meant to be a home not only for Coach BJ, Coach Rachelle and their kids but for all athletes and families that come to High Five as well!
