On Thursday December 6th, Mike Richdale died peacefully in his sleep at home after a long courageous battle with brain cancer. His family was with him. For those of us who have been fortunate to know Mike; his passion, knowledge and unwavering devotion to the game of softball will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. - The Sharks Family

The Lady Sharks organization was started by Mike Richdale in 1992 in San Jose California. The organization quickly rose to national prominence with four top ten ASA National performances. After moving to Kirkland in 1999 Mike Richdale started the Northwest Lady Sharks organization which has experienced rapid success as well, with nationally qualified teams at the 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U levels of play. Furthermore, the organization continues to grow in size and prominence in the northwest and on the national softball scene.
