A little break from the Showcase scene last weekend, 7/19/25. Here are our stat leaders for the tournament. Shoutout to Emersyn Edwards, Lexi Johnson, Bri Carey, and Zoe Brown for having no strikeouts on the weekend!
Excited to head into the Fall season!
We’re a little over 2 weeks away from our August camp. Last chance to get in front of us before September 1! Join us for a fun and high energy camp experience and get to know the Columbia softball coaching staff in the process. Register today 🦁
Thank you to @CIURamsSoftball for having our @LexiJohnson2026 and @HarleighHopkins at camp today. They enjoyed the small camp size and feedback provided. They are excited to be back on campus soon.
Don’t forget, Charleston Southern Softball has camp opportunities coming up soon! Don’t miss out on working, look forward to seeing you in the Lowcountry!
Congratulations to our #14, c/o 2026, @LexiJohnson2026 for her accomplishments this season. She has an busy summer ahead of her and we can't wait to see what happens for her.
We didnt have the best day on the field today but sometimes that's just how things happen. We will regroup and prepare for tomorrow.
However, we did start off the day with a bang, or I guess a 💣! Congrats to #33 @HarleighHopkins (2027, CF/SS) on her homerun today.
🥎 Step-by-Step Guide: Following Up After a Showcase Tournament
✅ 1. Send a Follow-Up Email Within 24–48 Hours
This is your opportunity to stand out. Coaches see a lot of players—help them remember you.
Subject Line Example:
“Great seeing you at [Tournament Name] – [Your Name, Grad Year, Position]”
Hi Coach [Last Name],
I hope you had a great weekend at the [Tournament Name]. My name is [Your Name], a [Grad Year] [Position] from [Club Team Name]. I really appreciated the opportunity to play in front of you and your staff.
In our game against [Opponent Name], I [mention a highlight—e.g., went 2-for-3 with a double, made a diving catch in left field, etc.]. I’m continuing to work hard on [a skill or area of growth], and I’m excited about my development this summer.
I’m very interested in your program at [College Name]. The academic and athletic environment seems like a great fit for me, especially [mention something specific you like about the school or program].
I’ve attached my updated schedule and would love to keep in touch. Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like from me.
Best regards,
[Your Full Name]
[Grad Year] | [Position(s)]
[Club Team Name]
[Email Address] | [Phone Number]
[Link to Skills Video / Recruiting Profile, if available]
✅ 2. Personalize Your Message
Mention something specific about the coach’s program, the school, or a conversation you had. Even a small personal detail can make your message more meaningful.
⸻
✅ 3. Attach or Link to Your Updated Schedule
If your team has more tournaments, camps, or games coming up, include that schedule so coaches can plan to see you again.
⸻
✅ 4. Follow on Social Media
If you haven’t already, follow the program (and coaches if appropriate) on platforms like Twitter or Instagram. Stay engaged—but stay respectful and professional.
⸻
✅ 5. Be Consistent and Patient
One follow-up message is great, but building a relationship takes time. Continue to update coaches with:
•Upcoming tournaments
•Academic achievements
•New highlight videos
•Notable performance updates
⸻
🧠 Bonus Tips:
•Use a professional email address (e.g., [email protected]).
•Keep emails short and easy to read—coaches are busy!
•Proofread before sending—avoid typos and grammar mistakes.
