Hofstra University Softball Camp is geared toward campers entering grades 2-12. We are dedicated to providing intensive instruction that is essential to the development of the young softball player, whether at the beginner or advanced level. Campers will be grouped by grade and level of skill.

Softball Camp will be under the direction of Assistant Softball Coach Ryan Realmuto. Coach Ryan, is a former four-time All-Big 12 catcher at Oklahoma State, is entering her third season as assistant coach at Hofstra, after being hired in August 2006. She was part of a coaching staff that earned the Mid-Atlantic Region Coaching Staff of the Year from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) in her first year at Hofstra.

Realmuto joined the Pride already familiar with Hofstra Softball Stadium, after playing for the New York/New Jersey Juggernaut of the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league in the summer of 2005, which played its home games at Hofstra.

Come train with the Hofstra Pride “2007 Regional Softball Coaching Staff of the Year.”
