Gold Coast Hurricanes was founded by Marty Cooper. His dream began over 17 years ago to make Florida a dominant fast pitch region. It took a lot of believers, hard work and dedication to finally realize his dream.

Today, some of the country's best ball players come out of Florida.

His vision to take young athletes wherever the College Coaches were, flourished into his own Rising Stars Softball Showcase Tournament. Rising Stars has become the stage where not only Florida girls, but girls from all over our Country, can attain College Scholarships.

We are dedicated to the highest standards while developing character and top quality ball players.
