Louisiana State University at Alexandria

Adam Burch just finished his fourth season as the co-head coach, with his wife Annalyn, of the LSUA softball team, and sixth head coach in program history.

In the 2021 season, he helped lead the Generals to a 22-14 record with a 15-3 RRAC record, which tied them for the regular season conference crown.

Burch continued to build off the success of the LSUA softball team, going 26-14 in his inaugural season at the helm of LSUA, bringing the Generals at least a share of the RRAC's regular season championship for the third time in four seasons, doing so with an 18-6 mark in conference play.

Burch came to LSUA from Florien High School, where he was in his second stint as the top cat of the Blackcat softball team. In the previous season before coming to LSUA, Burch led Florien to the #2 seed in the LHSAA Class B playoffs, advancing to the state quarterfinals.

Adam and Annalyn both got their first taste of collegiate coaching experience at the NCAA Division II level when they took over the program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa. The pair took over a fledgling Falcon team and brought them to the postseason each of their three seasons at UTPB, and tied the program record for wins in a single season in 2012.

In his original stint at Florien High that started in 2008, Burch developed a junior high and junior varsity program that helped turn a Blackcat varsity team which had never been ranked in the state before into a top power in Class B, which eventually turned into state championships for many of the players he helped mentor.

Adam and Annalyn have worked together to develop a vast softball training program all throughout the state of Louisiana, providing a chance for many up and coming players to develop their skills. That network has culminated in the opening of a softball training center in Sabine Parish.

Adam graduated from Northwestern State with a degree in biology. The Burches now live in Alexandria with their four children; Addalyn, Aiden, Asher, & Ashlyn.
