About

Coach Tien Ly began his softball coaching career with his oldest daughter, Anna in Oswego, IL. All three of his daughters have played or play softball. In 2015, his 10U Shakopee team won Tier 1 fall state championship, and in 2018, he helped the Eden Prairie 10U team won the first ever MOA Nationals championship. Coach Tien’s passion is with training and development of young players. His specialty is with hitting and catching. He has served as the off-season trainer for Edina, Clutch Hitters, St. Louis Park, and for Midwest Power 14U, which he is also the head coach and player development coordinator. He does private hitting and catching lessons out of TLC in Savage. Tien’s coaching philosophy is…. “I don’t HAVE to coach, but I CHOOSE to. I don’t coach because it pays the bills, or it’s just a hobby. I’m not just volunteering, and I don’t coach to fulfill some fantasy of winning the big game. I coach because it’s what I LOVE to do, and I want it to make a difference with my players.”
