Club Softball Fall 2026

Who we are

The Club Softball team at Duquesne University is a student-led organization that aims to create a fun community of girls that come together to play what is beyond a softball game. To build and bridge communities and relationships, to create a positive outlet, and establish teamwork and resilience. It intends to be a space that feels like adolescence and home, one of no pressure and all excitement. 

Club softball at Duquesne University is a direct output of a commitment to excellence by fostering a diverse space and community. Duquesne Club softball will always aim to serve God by serving others, in this sense community, when playing in the sense of respect and diversifying one's mind as we travel and play teams who may look like us or not. This automatically creates a space where girls of different age, stature, and experience can be seen in the same light to leave us all being better rounded individuals who can have wider spectrums to serve in our daily lives. Without knowing we provide mentorship through girls making connections from all walks of the college life as we support each other in the same or different majors.

Why we need your help!

As of right now, we are raising money to pay for dues for the NCAA. This will mean that our club softball team would then be an official club team and able to travel to games and play in a conference with other teams. This would allow Duquesne as a school to extend their reach and their students to other universities through the love of softball while directly helping students engage in connecting all around the world and developing stronger personal connections in school. If we do not raise the dues, this money will help us welcome new girls on by paying for their dues but also giving us a little more time to fundraise and make the money we need!

Every semester we meet new students who want to join and didn't know we had a team, they are so shocked to find out that we do, and that we are the people who actually started it. Over this past summer I seen a girl who looked to be a freshman throwing a softball with her mom, I decided to go up to her and tell her about our team. She mentioned she was actually going here in the Fall and played softball in high school. That Duquesne was her dream school, but she thought she'd have to give up softball. After the conversation, her and her mom hugged me and thanked me for making Duquesne the perfect home for her; she now plays on our team!
