This past season he served as a consultant for Coach Richardson's Tolleson HS program, while getting a feel for the area and it's needs. The White Sox Scout Program is about getting players ready to play at the next level[college]. We stress academics.

CALIFORNIA COACHES
Tim Ammentorp, Head Baseball Coach, 20yrs, at Redondo Union HS in Redondo Beach, ca. Coach was a all league catcher at Covina Hs in the mid 70's and was a member of the UCLA Baseball program for four years. Unfortunately, future major leaguer Don Slaught was also a member of the program at the time and needless to say he got the majority of the playing time. Tim learned everything he could from Coach Adams and his staff and was very successful relating that to others.
