It all began around the concept of rebuilding a "roster".

With over 40 years of combined experience in team sports, Auddrena and Kelly wanted to create a social network utility website for teammates, structured upon reuniting teammates by rebuilding rosters. A place where teammates could reconnect, relive and reminisce.

Auddrena and Kelly both started participating in team sports at a very young age. They are both natural born athletes and most of the time they were competing against and playing with the boys! Auddrena grew up in Southern California and Kelly grew up in the Midwest. While growing up, sports became a positive outlet for both of them. Through sports they gained confidence and learned the value of commitment and discipline and they both received athletic scholarships to play softball in college. Auddrena and Kelly were both shortstops and competed against each other in college. To this day, they still argue over who was the better shortstop!

Their site is dedicated to teammates who headed out to the field, onto the court, or wherever the battle took place, for the last time and sacrificed their blood, sweat, and tears together not just as a team, but as a family. Friendships were created as well as a lifetime of memories. Seasons came to and end and lives after teammates began. It was not an easy task to move on. The wins, the losses, the good times, the bad times, all remained etched in their minds and close to their hearts. Their teammates and coaches helped them to build their character and to become the women that they are today.

Throughout their friendship, Kelly and Auddrena have been fierce opponents, likeminded teammates, antsy spectators, rivalry enthusiasts, and more importantly best friends. Best friends that were brought together through the many journeys taken alongside their teammates, and they often wonder where they are and what they are doing now.

The idea came to fruition when Auddrena was driving into work one day in June 2008. She was reliving a moment that she is not too proud of, and in fact, she may be the only woman to win and lose a softball game at the same time. She remembered how she felt. She gave her teammates such a high and then such a low! As she stood there in disbelief, her first basemen at the time, walked over to her and put her hand under her chin, lifted it, and said, “You got the hit when we needed it, but next time run it out!” It was at that moment, that it became clear to her that her teammates were not just teammates; they were family, and what they did and said were really important to her.

Auddrena shared her idea with Kelly, and in 2008, Roster Reunion was born.

Ok, rewind a bit to the name origination. They were overtaken by this idea and could not stop thinking about names. The name needed to be something that conveyed their idea and brought about a feeling of nostalgia. They also wanted something that was easy to remember. Name after name, concept after concept, nothing did it for them. Then one day, Kelly sent Auddrena a text message with the name Roster Reunion, and it made sense. They put the name to test and ran it by friends and family. They asked them to tell them the first thing that came to mind when they heard and/or read the name. The responses were right in line with what they were trying to achieve, and then it came to be.

When they first started talking about creating a social network utility website for teammates, they wanted to start a fun, dynamic place for teammates to reunite and rebuild the rosters of teams that they were once a part of. A place where an athlete could rebuild a roster by being the roster creator, search for their roster and be added as a teammate, or connect with other players on other teams allowing them to catch up on old times. Roster Reunion is a free, user-friendly social network utility website that allows any athlete (professional, collegiate, high school, recreational, club, weekend warrior) or coach to reunite with teammates.

Roster Reunion is located in the Central Coast of California, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful areas in America. We are a fun, hard working, small creative team that enjoys a good laugh, a good beer, and remembering the glory days!!

At Roster Reunion, our goal is to rebuild rosters one teammate at a time!
