Tom Scarpato

Coach Scarpato has been coaching softball for 15 years, 12 of them with Chaos. He has coached in-house, rec ball, middle school and travel softball with experience at the travel ball level from U10 through U18 Gold. He has two daughters who have come through the Chaos organization from U10 through U18 Gold to continue playing at the collegiate level.
