Rockford Rocks Sports - Rockford Rivets
Will Oberg is in his first year as Field Manager of the Rockford Rivets Organization.
Will served as coach for the 2023 Rivets team that recorded more wins than any other teams in Rivets history. Currently the team looks ready to build on that success and have another banner year in 2024.
Having recently concluded his own successful baseball career at the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS), Oberg is poised to make a significant impact in his coaching role. During his time at UIS, Oberg had the privilege of being a participant on the university’s esteemed baseball team.
Under the guidance of Rockford’s Head Coach Vinny Tornincasa, who also served as Oberg’s batting coach. Oberg’s collegiate journey took him to various institutions, including Eastern Michigan University and Heartland Community College. These experiences provided him with a comprehensive perspective on the game, further enhancing his baseball knowledge and prowess.
With a combination of playing experience under skilled coaches and a diverse educational background, Oberg is well-equipped to contribute to the success of the Rockford Rivets. His passion for the sport and commitment to player development make him an invaluable addition to the coaching staff.
As the 2024 season begins, the Rockford Rivets eagerly anticipate the positive impact that Will Oberg will have on the team’s performance and the growth of their players as a Manager.
Will is going to discuss the team's outlook for 2024 and will bring a couple of his players to meet everyone and answer questions from the audience.
This will be an interesting program about one of Rockford's most successful professional sports teams. It will be a chance to invite a guest or prospective member to join us in person at Memorial Hall or via Zoom.
Steve Malliet will continue his duties this month of introducing our presenter and acting as Rotary Host.
