Rob Wachholz - Head Coach

Coach Wachholz played his college baseball at Wartburg College of Waverly, IA (1992-1996).  In college, Wachholz played first base and was first team all Iowa Conference for three years in a row. He consistently competed for the Iowa conference batting title while at Wartburg.  After his junior season he accepted an offer to play for the Wausau Woodchucks of the Northwoods league. He finished in the top five in team hitting that year and finished the year just under .300 in batting average.  Wachholz then went on to Coach with the Wisconsin Woodchucks for two years (2000,2001).  He was an assistant coach on the Woodchucks first Northwoods League Championship team. That championship was clinched in dramatic fashion in St. Cloud, MN and capped one of the most exciting seasons of Woodchuck baseball.

Coach Wachholz was an assistant coach with the Warriors starting in 1996 and took over as head coach in 2003.  Since that time the Warrior's record has consistently improved each season.  The Warriors have participated in a spring trip to Florida every year since 2007.
