Aug. 6 Premier Softball Showcase
Key Event To Be Seen By Colleges

Longtime coach Rob Stern points to the fact that eight players have received 4-year scholarships directly from past Premier Softball Showcase Camps which will draw many national-level colleges to Branch Brook Park for the 2025 edition set for Wednesday, Aug. 6 as an all-day opportunity to be seen by coaches.

The cost is $250 per camper with individual instruction and three games for all participants in the all-day showcase that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is available to all interested club and high school players from the graduating years of 2026-2029.

“It’s a great opportunity to generate interest from colleges, and a great dollar value without having to travel far for this type of great exposure,” said the longtime NJ Pride president and Mount St. Dominic head coach. “For the older players it can be the opportunity to close a deal with a college, and for the younger kids, such as eighth graders through the sophomore year, it’s a great chance to see what an event like this is all about and get started in the process including getting invited to a college’s camp because the summer camp circuit is a big part of what is involved in the college recruiting process.”

Among the coaches who have frequented the Premier Softball Showcase have been Angie Churchill of Seton Hall University, Kristen Butler of Rutgers and Bridget Orchard of Villanova.

The current list of colleges set to be present includes: Albany, Binghamton, Boston College, Caldwell University, Delaware, Drexel, Fairfield, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Gardner Webb, Hofstra, Iona, Lehigh, Manhattan, Marist, Monmouth, Muhlenberg, Rhode Island, Rutgers, Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, St. Peter’s, Seton Hall, Stony Brook, Tulsa and Villanova with more to come according to Stern.
