Press Release Tempo Titans Praha
The Tempo Titans Praha have announced the hiring of 32-year-old American Joey Kamide as their head coach for the 2012 season.
Kamide, who spent the past six months coaching with the Hungarian National Baseball and Softball Federation, will report to the club at the end of January, and will begin immediately with his efforts to finalize the club’s coaching staff and roster for the upcoming season. His predecessor, Robert Medicky, will remain with the staff in addition to coaching with the club’s second team and youth teams.
The Titans are seeking a return to the Czech Republic’s Extraleague after dropping to the second division following the 2009 season. The team finished third during the regular season before dropping a quarterfinal series to Sokol Hluboká, three games to one, this past season.
Kamide spent five seasons as a player and manager of an Industrial League club in Northern Virginia from 2001-05, then seven years as a high school and travel team coach in the same area from 2005-11.
