Humboldt State University’s head softball coach Shelli Sarchett has been selected to receive a full-tuition scholarship to the NCAA Women Coaches Academy.  This academy will be hosted in partnership between WeCOACH and the NCAA.  The CCAA office, in coordination with the CCAA Diversity and Inclusion Committee, is honored to cover the tuition cost of $300 for this important opportunity.

 “I want to thank the CCAA for giving me this opportunity to attend the WeCoach Academy,” said Sarchett. “I also want to thank the WeCoach Academy for providing this opportunity to learn and grow within the sports community.  I look forward to learning from some of the best in the sports world. It is vital to sports that we have women coaches out there doing their thing every day, constantly learning and setting a positive example for our youth.”

 This four-day educational training is designed for women coaches who are ready and willing to increase their individual effectiveness by learning advanced skills and strategies that directly affect their personal and team success.

 Sarchett guided the Jacks to back-to-back trips to the NCAA National Championships and has led HSU to a 196-74-1 record. She has continued the Lumberjacks’ tradition of excellence of leading the Green and Gold to 40 or more wins in each of her four seasons and four straight trips to the NCAA West Region Tournament.  Humboldt State has captured two CCAA Tournament Titles (2014 and 2017) under Sarchett’s leadership. HSU also captured the CCAA Championship in 2016. 

In seven seasons, 21 HSU student-athletes collected all-conference awards, 10 were named all-region players and six earned All-America honors.
