ROMEO PEACHES 11U SOUTH

Matthew Roberts
Head Coach
Coach Matt is the heart behind the Peaches—equal parts coach, cheerleader, and club visionary. A selfless and energetic leader, he brings a fun-loving spirit that keeps the girls smiling and the program thriving.
By day, Matt is a marketing executive; by night (and weekends… and most daylight hours in between), he’s all about the game. A former catcher and lifelong baseball kid, he brings a sharp eye, a team-first mentality, and full-on girl dad energy to every practice and dugout moment.
He’s coached across Romeo Parks & Rec, Romeo Girls Softball, and the Romeo Renegades, always with the same approach: keep it fun, keep it focused, and show up for the girls.
Coach Matt’s priority is making every girl feel valued, capable, and celebrated. For him, coaching isn’t just about softball—it’s about raising confident young women, building a team that feels like family, and creating moments the players will carry with them long after the final inning.
