Bryce Gerlach

The award, given by the Bryce Gerlach Memorial Foundation, provides resources to softball programs who have experienced sudden adversity or tragedy. The $1,000 monetary award is presented in honor of Bryce Gerlach and his family to support teams, encourage healing, and provide program-specific support during trying times. Programs who experience sudden adversity or tragedy need special support and services to provide strength, unity, and healing. Programs are nominated by member coaches and selected by the NFCA Awards Committee.
