NXT Recruits | Softball

Softball families, save this one. New NCAA rule for D1 and D2: 5 years to play 5 seasons.

Clock starts when you first enroll full time (JUCO counts) or the year after you turn 19. No redshirts. No pause.

Has a college coach brought it up with you yet?

Rough softball weekend? It happens.

College coaches in the stands are watching more than the scoreboard. How you handle an 0-for-3. How you pick up a teammate. How you jog off after a loss.

Softball parents, what's your car ride home rule?

Signing week's done. 2028 and 2029 softball players, save this for your next coach call:

1. What do you need to see from me?
2. How many at my position are you taking?
3. When's your next camp?
4. Who should I keep updating?

What would you add?

Signing week's wrapping up. One D1 softball coach said of a new signee: "She came to our camps so we got to see her."

Winter prospect camp dates are going up now. Pick 2 or 3 schools you'd really go to and sign up early.

Athletes, which camp is on your list?

Fall ball is winding down for a lot of softball travel teams.

Your offseason assignment: take the fix a coach gave you this fall and own it by January. Coaches remember who came back better.
