LIPSCOMB ACADEMY SOFTBALL

Lipscomb Academy softball has a rich history of competing at the highest level in the state.  Our program strives to challenge, encourage, and motivate young ladies into being the best at what they do.  Cultivating an atmosphere of growth through mind, body and spirit is the number one priority.  We build leaders by constantly stressing the importance of being a good teammate both on and off the field while building characteristics that will serve the student-athletes long after high school athletics.  We are a team-first, selfless, goal oriented program with focus of edifying and encouraging each other to be more Christ-like in our daily walk.
