Nick Burbidge

Age: 45

With over 35 years of experience in playing and coaching baseball and softball, I’ve dedicated my life to these sports. I’ve coached competitive travel teams in both baseball and softball and have spent the past four years coaching high school baseball at Copper Hills High School.

As a catcher by trade, I’ve also gained valuable experience pitching and playing in the infield and outfield. Currently, I play on both an 18+ baseball team and a 35+ baseball team, traveling several times a year to compete in out-of-state tournaments.

Baseball and softball are more than just sports to me—they’re a lifelong adventure. I truly love being on the field, working with kids, and helping them improve their skills. There’s no place I’d rather be than on a baseball diamond, sharing my passion for the game.
