What an amazing group of young women! From the staff to each athlete working and believing together! I am beyond proud of the people they are and what they stand for. The championships are pretty cool too! I know they are ready for the next challenge, let’s add more to that 💍!
Recruits keep being proactive through this time. Even though We would love to be out in person we are still watching through every platform possible. Love seeing the passion, growth, and competitive fight! Push forward!!
It’s move in day!!!! I am beyond excited to get our incoming freshmen and returners back in Huntsville! We preach and live family in every single way, NO exceptions. Step one, the returners help the incoming freshmen move into the dorms.

First fall practice is the books! It may look a little different for a while but we were more than ready to take the dirt as a team today!

TRUE! If you think what happened wasn’t “fair” or your opportunity is not “fair” you will never EARN what you feel you deserve. Instead think, I’m going to earn my opportunity!
Complete truth, being a great teammate is your number one job as a team sport athlete. It requires more toughness, grit, and passion than being a .300 hitter. Be great with what you can absolutely control!!
Jumping up and down to host two full elite camps this weekend. It’s going to be awesome seeing so many young studs at the Bearkat softball complex!!
#EatEmUpKats
I am beyond proud of these young women for their hard work and dedication in the classroom. All will leave with a degree, and many working on or finished with their Master’s. The standard is HIGH! Thank you

Grades are in...A record setting spring is in the books with a team GPA of 3.65! The new team high includes 19 student athletes and ten perfect 4.0! Our athletes are definitely putting the student in student-athlete! 📚📖

Everyone in this world makes mistakes, you are no different. Be aware when you do or listen when someone brings awareness to you. Be honest, own it, and forgive. “Drop the shovel” That is strength!
