The Glory program is for dedicated student-athletes and families who have a great passion and respect for the game, who aspire to play at the collegiate level, and who are fiercely competitive. And, for players and families who truly embrace our Purpose Driven Softball movement, who believe in being part of something bigger and creating a powerful environment where players thrive by giving each other their absolute best. This is not a “me first” individual-based culture. We strive to provide the highest level team experience; emphasize elite level fundamentals; maintain high academic standards, provide online college networking services, and instill life skills and close-knit relationships that carry through life.
