The Olathe Rockets were started in 1994.  John Moppin of Olathe, Kansas began with a 10U team.  He took that first team through the ranks, compiling an amazing record of metro and regional championships (at the ASA or AFA “A” levels), along with impressive showings at national championship tournaments.  John’s youngest daughter Jessica Moppin was a standout player in the Rockets organization and went on to enjoy great success as a four year starter at the University of Kansas.  She is now a student assistant for the KU coaching staff.  Many other players from the Rockets have enjoyed success at the collegiate level.  Gradually other coaches were brought into the Rockets organization, and the Rockets became recognized as one of the finest Fastpitch programs in the country.  The organization’s .92 winning percentage over the past 13 years has been built on solid fundamentals, hard work, speed, defense and athleticism.  In addition, this record has come almost exclusively from ASA or AFA “A” level competition, and in many cases, playing “up” an age level or two.  Coach Moppin continues to make himself available to all current Rocket teams and is kind enough to offer his insight and wisdom when asked.
