The softball season runs from the end of March through mid-May.  

Blair Softball has been the most successful of the girls’ programs at Blair. Last season, our “rebuilding” year, we finished 15-5 and went to the finals of the MAPL and State Prep tournaments. I am quite proud of my teams, past and present. We have lots of fun and work very hard. Our team concept stresses unselfish play, positive self-image, healthy self-assessment (celebrating individual strengths and attacking weaknesses) and skill building. Our season includes a nine-day spring break trip to Orlando, Florida, where we face our prep competition and challenge ourselves by playing teams from all over-last year, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. Our recipe for success does produce many winning seasons, but, more importantly, we understand the concepts of respect for self and others, teamwork, and the true joy of meeting physical and mental challenges.  

I am starting my 18th year coaching softball at Blair. Many of my players have gone on to various college programs. Eileen O'Neill ’90 (holds batting records at Dickinson College), Tami Parrott ’97 (All-IVY at Brown) Stacey Gorski ( founding member and captain of Middlebury College squad). Currently, Deb Kozy (Emory) Kristen Nelson (Wash U.) Amy Bogart (Lehigh) Tory Glowacky (Middlebury) and Amanda Glowacky (Emory) are active college ball players. Quite a few Blair players have gone on to coach as well. This summer current players, Cortney Romyns ’04, Carolyn Davis ’04 and Christina Giambrone ’06 were invited to Pennsbury and Ft. Devens recruiting camps where nearly 100 college coaches saw their skills.  

If you have any questions about our program, please call 908-362-6121 x. 5647, or email me at confoc@blair.edu. We are interested in female athletes who are also committed to intellectual growth, and seeking a positive team experience. Thanks.
