  • "The tools and resources that the NFCA provides its member coaches are second to none. NFCA high school member coaches have access to a drills database, a year-round mentoring program, practice plans, and other numerous programs that can help you achieve your goals, while also helping your athletes achieve their goals. I've been a member since 1999 and have found the NFCA to be tremendous for growth both on and off the field." — Tim Walton, University of Florida
  • "As a young coach beginning my college coaching career, NFCC 401 really gave me a great base of knowledge to take with me for the rest of my career. Being able to learn from experienced coaches who have dealt with building team culture, managing their budgets, and managing their programs was such a great way to start my learning journey within the NFCA. I would have never thought about some of the topics that we covered, but I’m so glad that I was able to learn these tools to implement both on and off the field to get the most out of our student-athletes and to help them succeed on the field and in life." — Mary Murray, Rowan University
  • "The NFCA is the premier coaches association in sports. The ability to teach, train, mentor, encourage and support coaches is unmatched in our profession. The ability to care for everyone as if they are the only one is truly unique and speaks to the immense knowledge and leadership of the NFCA staff. Everyone who has a part in our game is truly missing out if they are not a part of the NFCA." — Dr. Megan Brown, Longwood University
  • "The NFCA is an organization that is focused on growing the game of softball and helping coaches be the absolute best in their field. I would recommend 10 out 10 becoming a member, if you are not already, and getting involved with such a great group of people who are passionate about softball!" — Carson Loyd, Calvary Christian High School
  • "NFCC courses have been my most stimulating educational experiences for many years and send me back into the fray with new purpose and passion." — Previous NFCC 410 Attendee
  • "I credit much of my coaching success (and impact as a leader) to the NFCA. Being a member of the NFCA for over 15 years the influence this organization has had on my life both personally and professionally runs deep. I take much pride in being a member of this organization because of the people (leadership, staff-team, and members) I get to engage with throughout the year and annually at convention." — Anonymous
  • "The quality of education and interaction in NFCC courses is superb and provides a deeper and more stimulating experience than standard clinics. Always something new or a new perspective that I take home that often turns my previous thinking upside down." — Previous NFCC 405 Attendee
