The PNW SHAMROCKS SOFTBALL program is committed to guiding all of our players (on and off the field) to be the best they can be.
COLLABORATIVE COACHING! We have the best coaches in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to working together and learning from each other to be the best we can be at our craft! We are focused on teaching the game through solid fundamentals and improving softball IQ for all of our athletes with the use of a strong and consistent developmental plan for all of our players and teams to thrive. With specialty coaches in the areas of pitching, catching, hitting, infield, outfield and slapping, we have got everyone covered.
We have an experienced Recruiting Specialist who has coached at all collegiate levels ready to help guide our high school aged student-athletes and their families through the college recruiting, application and scholarship process. We also have multiple coaches in our program who have coached (or are currently) and recruited at various college levels. We will also focus on helping players learn to market themselves and advocate for themselves throughout the recruiting process.

PNW SHAMROCKS Program Philosophy
It is the purpose and intent of the PNW SHAMROCKS SOFTBALL program to provide a competitive and positive softball experience for our athletes by competing at the highest level possible.
The PNW SHAMROCKS SOFTBALL program is committed to helping our young athletes prepare for future success in every phase of life.
We are dedicated to preparing our young women to embrace independent learning and thinking, to become great students of the game and the world, and to represent the program and their families in a respectful manner, while also learning how to compete at the highest level in our sport.
1. Development Is The Priority – Our primary focus is to guide each athlete to be the best they can be. In doing so, we want our players to learn to be Process Oriented, and not to be fixated on the Outcome. It is our belief that if we focus on Development over Outcome, success will follow.
2. Be Competitive with Grace and Professionalism – LOVE to win! But never sacrifice your integrity, morals or ethics to do so. We want our Program to be an example for others to follow.
3. Independent Learning & Thinking Will Lead to Positive Lifelong Choices –Our players will learn to think and train FOR themselves. We as adults are here to guide them as they learn to make good choices. We are not here to enable or do things for them.
4. Open, Honest & Direct Communication – We owe it to each other to handle things honestly and directly. Strong communication fosters stronger, more successful relationships throughout life.
5. Control What You Can Control and Let the Rest Go – Often times we get hung up on things that we cannot control. Instead, we take care of what we do have the power to manage and do our best to stay committed to our goals.
