Southern Collegiate Sports (SCS) may be brand new to the
scene, but there is a level of trust and assurance with the man behind the
name. Ken Wilson has spent years building relationships, all for the common
goal of building the gap between opportunity and female student-athletes.
Ken has been around softball since 2010 when he began coaching rec ball. As his daughter began her career on the softball field he knew he had to focus all his energy on developing the plans for her future. Since that fateful beginning, Ken has focused on his passion for helping kids cultivate a future through the recruiting process.

The name of the organization is descriptive and clear. These
girls competing at the select level are interested in exposure and opportunity.
Their goal is to continue that passion past the day they receive a high school
diploma and that is exactly what Southern Collegiate Sports is offering.
The name itself was derived from the idea of furthering
student athlete's careers past the high school level. Why not Southern
Collegiate Softball? "I wanted the name to cover more than just one sport
and to emphasize the focus of all college-level sports," said Ken,
"there is so much potential for us to help out in more than just
softball."
If you’re familiar with SCS events then you know the
structure of a camp right before the tournament begins. This is intended to
provide girls the opportunity to stand out in an environment where college
coaches can focus on skills and strengths. The purpose of the structure is to
be consistent with the needs of coaches from across all five divisions. Most
importantly these events encourage growth for young college coaches and the
opportunity to reach out to potential athletes.
Of course, Ken acknowledged the help of the many people who
have been a part of his journey to success. Including his previous partnerships
with DFW Fastpitch Owner, Darren Darracq and Head Coach and co-founder of Texas
Glory Kevin Shelton.
“The purpose of these organizations and events is to
create a community of purpose,” said Ken “SCS is the start of helping teams not
located near DFW feel appreciated and supported.”
