Brooks Ivey named new softball coach for Falls City Tiger Softball program
Brooks Ivey will lead the Tiger softball team moving forward for the 2025 school year. Coach Ivey replaces Trista Hutchings, who coached the last 5 seasons. Coach Hutchings has resigned her position. Trista stated, “she is thankful for the five years working with the team, and grateful for all the support and trust she has received over the years”. The need to focus on her family and the distance from our community were the leading factors in her decision. She will cherish the relationships and the experiences during her tenure as Falls City's coach.
Coach Brooks Ivey began his softball coaching experience helping out with the FC Travelers 18U practices and games in 2015 and 2016. In the fall of 2016, he went on to the collegiate level as an assistant coach at Peru State College. He served his first season as a volunteer assistant then became the graduate assistant the following two years.
Ivey then moved on to Lamoni, Iowa in 2019 where he became the Sports Information Director and assistant softball coach for three seasons at Graceland University. He then returned to Peru State for one season before coming back home to Falls City where he has been an assistant coach for the high school program the past two seasons. In addition to his wealth of coaching experience at different levels, Ivey has also done hitting lessons for girls in the community and has been an active supporter of all levels of the FC Travelers teams in the summer. Please welcome and support coach Ivey moving into this new position. Go Tigers!
