Words of Wisdom from an Olympic Champion:
From Lisa Fernandez (3 time Olympic Gold Winner): "FROM MY EXPERIENCE AS AN ATHLETE, MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO KEEP YOUR SCHOOL WORK AS A PRIORITY, BECAUSE SPORTS WILL GET THE COACHES TO LOOK AT YOU AND EVEN OFFER YOU A SCHOLARSHIP, BUT ONLY GRADES WILL GET YOU IN TO THE UNIVERSITY. GOOD LUCK!"

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
NCAA is a voluntary organization through which the nation's colleges and universities govern their athletics programs. It comprises more than 1,250 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals committed to the best interests, education and athletics participation of student-athletes.

National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA)
The NFCA is the professional growth organization for fastpitch softball coaches from all competitive levels of play.

The idea for a softball coaching association first developed from discussions at the National Collegiate Women's Softball Championships in the early 1980s. Although mostly collegiate coaches comprised the organization's membership in the early days, today's college coaches are joined by high school and travel ball/club coaches, umpires, as well as other fans of fastpitch softball. In 1997, the Association's membership reached the 2,000 mark, and today there are more than 4,100 members.

Besides services offered to the membership, the NFCA works with USA Today in producing polls for NCAA Division I and high school softball. In addition, NCAA Division II and Division III polls are produced. The NFCA also conducts collegiate tournament competitions, as well as recruiting camps throughout the nation. An annual NFCA National Convention is held every December.
