The 1998 14-under Sparks (3rd in nation) recently had a 10-year reunion in Orland Park. |

Sparks alums and NIU teammates Allison Parker and Kate Welsh at the Chicagoland Fall Classic. |

Along with providing some of the finest instruction in the Midwest and providing the challenge of extremely competitive schedules, the
Sparks also pride themselves in sending nearly 100 percent of their 18-under alumni to college careers.
While most Sparks' athletes continue their education in the Midwest, playing a national-type
schedule had led to sending softball student-athletes throughout the United States. Many Sparks' alumni have ultimately moved onto the coaching ranks as well, including college, high school and travel ball.
In addition to recently celebrating a 25th anniversary with alumni, family and freinds, the Sparks would also like to maintain contacts with former players. We're always interested to hear of exploits in
career and family and would like to maintain a network to remain in contact with former teammates and friends.
