RedLine’s Summer Reveiw

Where to begin…
How about the training. Throughout the summer we have had a training program that was designed to help all our athletes get stronger, faster and more athletic. From Division 1 and professional athletes coming back to train with us to kids getting on board with the unlimited training and spending hours at RedLine per day. Some of our athletes put on 10-20 pounds of strength, while some shaved as much as a WHOLE second off their 60 yard dash. The RedLine record for cone hops was rewritten this summer as well, by Adrienne Anderson(74).
Next, our scholarship athletes. This is one thing we are most proud of. We had a number of baseball players sign with new schools for this school year. Kevin Chambers, who was also drafted by the Detroit Tigers, signed and move to Stillwater, OK to play for Oklahoma State Univ. Blaine Jones and Max Whieldon signed and committed to Seattle University. Zack Richmond signed with Colorado State-Pueblo just after throwing a bullpen at RedLine. Robbie Ross signed with Point Loma Nazarene Univ. in San Diego. Rich Kemp signed with Cal State-East Bay.
As for other sports, Leyla Simmons signed with Oklahoma State to play tennis, then, so did Alexandra Cristello, a close friend of Leyla. Connor DePhillippi has also developed into a real up-and-coming star on the racing circuit. He earned a scholarship from the Skip Barbor School of Racing, and so far for this year he is the points leader. Finally, Dennis Anderson is at Arizona State University playing lacrosse.
Last but not least, our training staff. Brad Hinkle decided to retire from playing professional baseball in order to build his future with RedLine. As many of you know, Brad interned with us while he finished us his degree and got ready for pro ball a few summers ago, but now he makes Orange County his home. He is back to help young athletes with training and sport/skill specific needs. However, with gaining one, we lost a great trainer! Alex Gonzales decided to go back and play college baseball. Since deciding to go back and play, Alex has turned to the knowledgeable staff to help him get prepared for the upcoming school year. So, even though we lost a great trainer, we are happy for Alex and know that Saddleback CC is getting one of the best athletes in the state.
With the new “season” coming, it brings us to a great opportunity. RedLine is actively looking for a second location, and when we decide on the additional location the news will go out and you all will know about it.
We want to thank all of our loyal clients for a great summer! With the new school year upon us, don’t forget what we do here for our athletes… SPEED-POWER-CORE! Tryouts are lurking and other kids have been working hard to take your athletes spot on the roster, so let us help!
