Coaching Staff & Camp Details – 2022 TRU All Stars

As previously announced the 2022 Mary Graham All Stars are returning for our sixth annual event! Mary Swanstrom returns as the Head Coach of the TRU “Texas Toast” All Stars and is joined by assistant coaches Elaine Vassie, Megan  Barrett and Holly Iker. The coaching staff is further rounded out with mental skills specialist Mattison Grey and Team Manager Traci Young.

Head Coach Mary Swanstrom said, “I’m so excited to be involved again. This year is all about growth. Growth of the tournament with more All Star teams joining the competition. Growth of the staff with the addition of some amazing women that I can’t wait to work with. And most importantly growth of our team. We hope to have many returners from last year’s team and have new players joining as the program grows. Can’t wait!”
