The Program

Levels of Play
Junior Varsity A, Junior Varsity B and Varsity

Practice
We usually set our practice schedule months in advance. The schedule is very firm, we only change in the event of inclement weather and that an alternative weather schedule is already provided.

Incoming Freshman Activities
Incoming freshmen will receive information regarding summer and pre-season activities for softball players upon acceptance to St. Francis DeSales HS.

Traditionally, the incoming freshmen will have the opportunity to participate in open hitting and practices during the summer. Coaches are allowed the opportunity by the OHSAA to work with the students for ten practice days. Practices will be coordinated with other coaches in the SFD athletic department in order to avoid multiple conflicts during the summer for multi-sport athletes.

During the pre-season, athletes that are not involved in a fall or winter sport will have the opportunity to participate in a preseason weight training and conditioning program. The program is designed specifically for softball players to encourage injury prevention while increasing strength, speed and flexibility. Pre-season conditioning is held three days a week starting in mid-October and continuing through March.

The St. Francis DeSales softball team has access to an indoor hitting facility on campus. The 220 square foot facility holds two sixty foot pitching tunnels with the ability to section areas off for individual hitting drills and stations. Open hitting opportunities for ninth graders are available during the summer, winter and fall season.
