Unlike many of the board members who started out with The Pawtucket Slaterettes as players, I was born and raised in New Jersey and came to Rhode Island in 1996 as a young adult. I've lived in Pawtucket since 2005 and discovered the Slaterettes a few years later, as I was exploring different extracurricular opportunities for my young daughter and son. My husband and I are both big baseball fans and so we were suprised and thrilled to find out that Pawtucket is home to the oldest (and only) all-girls baseball league in the country. We signed up our daughter in the Minor Division and she has continued to play and grow with the Slaterettes in every division up to and including the Women's Division. Through the Slaterettes our daughter has had the opportunity to participate in a number of MLB-sponsored baseball events as well as to travel to girls' baseball tournaments in Florida and New Jersey. We have had a wonderful experience ith the Slaterettes throughout the years, full of great people, fantastic opportunities for our daughter and good times for our entire family. When I was invited to join the Board of Directors in 2017 as the Corresponding Secretary, I was excited to give something back to the organization that has given so much to my family and our community.

My girls joined the Pawtucket Slaterettes back in 2014 when they were only 3 and 6 years old. They both started in tee-ball and have now worked their way up to the junior and senior divisions.

Cassie Froio
Baseball has been a passion of mine since I was a child. As the only girl on an all-boys team, I often faced limited opportunities, but it only fueled my drive to create more opportunities for the next generation. I began coaching in 2017 with the A’s Baseball Center, a club team in Woburn, MA. In 2023, I joined the Slaterettes as a 14U coach and moved up with the team to coach the 16U squad the following season. In 2024, I was selected to coach at the Maria Pepe Legacy Series in Williamsport. I also serve as the Program Leader for the That’s a Girl Baseball Initiative, a program dedicated to growing girls' and women’s baseball both in the U.S. and internationally. Outside of coaching, I still play baseball in the Slaterettes league and compete in tournaments across the country. When I'm not on the field, I work as a freelance sports photographer, including covering opening day for the league and tournaments.

Youth Divisions Director
Alli Zagroski
I started off as a young girl whose grandfather signed her up for the Slaterettes in 2008 and quickly got inspired to become a coach in 2017, after playing with boys teams growing up. I love the empowerment of women in baseball and how great if an opportunity this is to impact girls' lives in ways many of us may not understand. Baseball has always been a passion of mine and the love of the game is what keeps me going. To this day, I've been playing baseball for 20 years and now I'm a coach for the Slaterettes Travel Team. I hope to see the league grow in many ways and be here as a contributor to that.
