Aliya "Ali" Kirker '27 Recruiting Profile

I have wanted to play softball, since I was 6 years old - not just recreationally but competitively. To do this, I started in a fast-pitch travel team. At 16, this is my 10th year of playing. I am committed to getting better every day by practicing and weight training. I also enjoy teaching others by working with younger kids develop skills in the game and share my passion. While my passion is softball, I also play basketball. I want to be a well-rounded athlete, student, and person. I take my academic responsibility seriously, attaining a 3.76-4.0 GPA. I enjoy health sciences and want to pursue my goal of attending a college to focus on the field of pharmacology or kinesiology. I enjoy helping others succeed especially when it comes to assisting others in softball and in academics. I would love to be a softball coach someday!
