Zeeland East High School is pleased to announce the hiring of Denny Richmond as the new Varsity Softball Coach. Richmond assumes leadership of the program following the departure of Jolie Groeneveld, who has accepted a coaching position at Indiana Wesleyan University.

Coach Richmond brings a strong foundation of coaching experience to the CHIX. He served as an assistant coach with the Zeeland East Softball program last season and has previously coached travel softball with Lake Effect.

Richmond has a deep knowledge of softball, is skilled at building relationships and is committed to developing student-athletes both on and off the field. We are excited to welcome him into this role and look forward to the program growing under his leadership.

He had the following to say regarding coaching at Zeeland East:

I’m excited to be joining Zeeland East Athletics as the head Varsity Softball Coach.  I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of the game with our student athletes, along with helping to develop the softball community.  I’m ecstatic to give my best to these athletes, in addition to assisting them on and off the field.  GO CHIX!

Coach Richmond will be meeting with the team on Monday, December 15th at 3:00 in the Zeeland East Cafeteria to talk about future plans for the season.  ​

GO CHIX!!
