Staff Coaches
Since the beginning of our camps, the single most important factor has been hiring outstanding coaches. In addition to the Tar Heel coaching staff and players, the camp staff will consist of collegiate players, NCAA, NAIA, junior college and high school coaches, and current and former Women's Pro Softball League players. The camper to counselor ratio will be 8-to-1, allowing each camper to receive individual attention as well as small group instruction.

Carolina Softball Camps allow the athlete to experience the university setting in beautiful Chapel Hill. Chapel Hill has been blessed as a powerhouse in research and education, as well as in athletics.
