Program Philosophy
As a program, we want to build at the core and work around it. We believe that with sound fundamentals and clear knowledge of the game; all girls will be successful. We also ask that each girl come committed. In a day an age where there are endless possibilities and opportunities to be involved in many things we ask that during softball season the girls commit. Without this full commitment the voids and gaps in a program can be costly.
We like to play small ball and manufacture runs, which means we are a running team and like to take chances. Can you keep up? Girls must be ready to be challenged and to be critical thinkers on the field and make decisions based on their given or learned knowledge. We aim to have a program that is self-driven with high motivation and a hunger for the win, all within the boundaries of integrity. The skills that they learn from the field will take them well beyond their years at Seattle Prep.
