The Rocklin Hype vision has always been to give our local kids an avenue and a place to play softball at a higher level in our local community; it was founded by Mike Mello, Keith Caron and Gordon Nakagawa.

Rocklin Hype began with a single team (16U) in the Spring of 2005. Mike Mello, Keith Caron and Gordon Nakagawa wanted to take a group of girls in the 16U division they had been coaching in recreational softball, with the goal of taking them to the ASA "B" Westerns Nationals in Roseville CA.

This first 16U Hype team participated in the ASA "B" Association Championship (Metros) and took 1^st place. With great sportsmanship and great coaching the team goal was achieved. With the win the Rocklin Hype 16U team earned a birth to the ASA "B" Westerns Nationals in Roseville CA. Overall , the team placed 25^th,, it was a great experience and great exposure for the girls, they kept on fighting and never gave up. That same year the team was very successful, as the team won in Yuba City that fall.

The fall of 2006 was the first time the Hype organization had a 10U team. The new team was coached by Mike Mello, Curt Lerner, Byron Mudd, Rick Moffett and Dave Emerson. This team was very successful from the beginning, the team participated in the championship game in all 9 tournaments they played. The 10U team went on to the NSA State Championship and placed 3rd.

The Hype became a 501-3c non profit organization in 2007 and at that time the Board of Executives was formed. It consisted of Mike Mello, Curt Lerner, Tammy Lerner, Kevin McClintock, Chris Sutter and Byron Mudd.

Fall of 2007 the Hype organization consisted of a 10U and 12U team.  Tony Vigil, Byron Mudd and Ken Verdolivo ran the 10’s. Mike Mello, Curt Lerner and Dave Emerson ran the 12’s.

Spring and fall of 2008 the Hype organization consisted of a 12U and 14U teams. 14U was coached by Tim Bedford and 12U was coached by Mike Mello, Sue Sutter and Steve Lewis.  In the fall, the 12’s took 2^nd  in the NSA State Championship and took 1^st place at the NSA Western World Series tournament in Reno going undefeated.

Spring of 2009 the Hype organization consisted of a 10U, two (2) 12U, and a 14U team.

Fall of 2009 the Hype organization consisted of a 12U, 14U and 16U team.  The 14U Fall Team coached by Mike Mello closed out the season by winning 11 straight games, and wining 4 out of the 6 tournaments played. Due to excellent pitching, the 14U team finished the season with a winning record of 18-7-5, a batting average of .387, slug % of .506, and out scored opponents 153 to 118 runs. 

In 2010 the Rocklin Hype will have a 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U team. The 16U will be the start of our College Prep Program. We will have player profiles for everyone to see and download, skills videos posted on our Rocklin Hype channel provide by You Tube. We are also expanding our reach in social sites like twitter and face book.  The 16U team plans on going to Colorado for the Sparkler Tournament along with a trip to Huntington Beach and other local college showcase tournaments.  

To this date Mike Mello continues to be part of the organization with his vision and enthusiasm. With the help of the current board members, the Hype will continue to grow.
