Joe Roumelis returns in 2025 for his 5th season at the helm of Fury Platinum New England, serving as Head Coach of the 18U Roumelis team, while acting as Director and Recruiting Coordinator for the organization. As of August 2025, ‘Roumelis’ teams have achieved a record of 154-78-13 (.655 Win Pct.) since starting the FPNE program in Fall of 2021. During that span, his teams have included:

• 28 All-Division/All-Conference H.S. players;

• 16 All-State (RI & CT)/All-Scholastic (MA) H.S. players;

• 9 H.S. State Champions (RI & MA);

• 2X Boston Globe ‘Player of the Year’ (RHP Delaney Moquin, Silver Lake H.S., ’24 and ’25).

Recent Fury Platinum team achievements include:

• 2025 TeamNJ Summer Classic 18U Champions;

• 2025 USA Softball 18A Eastern Nationals (2nd Place);

• 2024 TeamNJ Summer Classic 18U (4th Place);

• Eight (8) committed players in the 2025 and 2026 classes, seven (7) of which have committed to play Division 1 softball;

• FPNE has had 13 players commit to play college softball at all three NCAA levels (D1-8, D2-3, D3-2) in the last two years while in a Fury Platinum uniform.

In 2024-2025, Coach Joe led Fury Platinum 18U Roumelis to its most successful finish to date, achieving a 33-4-2 summer record (46-15-2 overall). It was the 2nd consecutive year with 40+ wins at the 18U level while playing in the Northeast’s highest profile showcase events on primary fields. This season’s “100% Commitment” goal was achieved, as each Senior and Junior on his roster was committed to playing collegiately by the end of the year.

"I'm energized by how quickly our softball program has gained a reputation for developing college prospects. Looking forward to this next season, it’s going to be a banner year for Fury Platinum New England. We’ve got some of the most recruitable talent in the Northeast on all three of our rosters, and I can’t wait for them to showcase their abilities together this Fall.”

Roumelis also serves as Head Coach of the Varsity softball team at La Salle Academy in Providence, RI; a nationally ranked program.  Since joining the Rams in Spring 2023, La Salle has won three (3) straight Division 1 state titles with a 72-4 overall record during that time, while maintaining a perfect record in the postseason (12-0).  In Spring 2025, Joe was promoted to Head Coach at La Salle and immediately put the Rams on the national softball map, earning three High School Spring Softball rankings with Sports Illustrated (#11), the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (#13 ‘Spring Poll’), and MaxPreps (#28).  In just three (3) years with the program, Coach Joe has helped eight (8) La Salle players achieve Division 1 All-State honors sixteen (16) times and RI Gatorade Player of the Year honors twice.

Along with 18U Assistant Jeff Pallotta, Roumelis owns and operates the H.I.T. Center of RI; an indoor softball/baseball training facility that provides state-of-the-art tools in an efficiently designed space for high-intensity team practices.  The H.I.T. Center serves as Fury’s year-round team and player indoor training facility, offering ten individual batting & pitching tunnels, Hack Attack pitching machines, HitTrax analytics, and live hitting tunnels. Joe and Jeff have made H.I.T. Center command central during winter training for Fury Platinum New England, which focuses its efforts on hitting mechanics, catching and fielding technique, and live at-bats.
