Kent School

Girls Softball

Kent Softball plays a competitive schedule in the Founders League against some the toughest opponents in the New England Prep School Association. Additionally, the team travels to Florida during March break to practice and compete in five pre-season games against high schools from around the country. This trip is an excellent opportunity for the players to bond as a team while getting acquainted with our coaching staff.

Overview

Skill Development & Teamwork

The softball program at Kent School focuses on further developing players through hard work, discipline, and a commitment to the team. Our practices are fast-paced, and our goal is to improve each day in order to be competitive on game days. Early in the season, we focus on building a strong defensive unit along with excellent communication through various drills and team building activities. We coach our players through video, swing-analysis, speed-drills, hand-eye coordination exercises, and weight training with our strength coach.

Leadership & Character Development

Our performance on the field is a reflection of the integrity and character of our players. Kent Softball players learn about the value of winning and losing with grace, and representing the Kent School community with pride when we play.
