Derek Renneberg Bio / Coaching Credentials

If you have been around baseball in Kelowna, chances are high that you have heard the last name Renneberg.

Derek has quite the resume when it comes to his 20+ years of coaching through Tadpole to College Prep, but a highlight is being the Team BC Pitching Coach for the women's program 2014-2017.

Derek, though humble, can be given credit to his 3 children's successes in their baseball careers. Derek's daughter, Kenzie, was the first female in BC Minor Baseball history to get a "win" as a pitcher at Midget AAA level boys division.  Kenzie was on the radar to play for Team Canada but chose University where she is going after a Medical degree.

Derek's two twin boys, Brady and Adam, played their last game with COMBA College Prep a few seasons ago.  Thats when they made their journey to Missouri, playing for D1 Mineral Area College on full scholarships.  Brady is a pitcher/3rd base and Adam is a pitcher/catcher.

Coach Renneberg is driven by his passion to help kids in both his professional life and coaching career.  He teaches kids proper throwing mechanics at an early age to set them up for success throughout their baseball careers.  Coach Renneberg teaches age and ability level appropriate mechanics so their careers are not cut short with injuries.  Coach Renneberg not only works on the physical game, but also the mental game and how to deal with the natural stress and anxiety with being on the mound.

Coach Renneberg is great for children of all ages with dreams of being a pitcher, or children that need a little extra support on the mound to get their mental game.

Coach Renneberg is 1 of only a few DVS certified trainers in Canada!
