The St. Francis High School Softball Program has the goal to develop young girls to become the best team and softball players that they can become. The Softball Program is not only concerned with developing the softball skills of these young girls, but also wants to provide structure and support that will allow these girls to turn into productive and responsible young adults. The St. Francis High School Softball Program will achieve this through hard work, structure and determination.
