Located atop one of the rolling hills in central New York's 'City of Seven Valleys,' the State University of New York College at Cortland is once again hosting the NIKE Softball Camps!  SUNY Cortland, an outstanding location for campers to train, is located in the central part of the state.  The campus covers 191 acres of beautiful landscape and is located in the finger lakes region, just 35 miles south of Syracuse. 

Julie Lenhart, Head Coach of the Red Dragons, returns to direct what is sure to be one of the best camps in the Northeast.  Lenhart began coaching at Cortland in 1995 and in 14 years has a combined record of 435-191-1, making her the winningest coach in Red Dragon softball history.  In 2007, she became the 16th softball coach in Division 3 history to surpass 500 career wins and her overall record stands at 555-268-1 in 19 campaigns.  Her teams have qualified for the NCAA Division III playoffs three straight years from 1997-99 and 2003-2005, as well as in 2007 and 2008, including World Series appearances in 1998, 2004, 2004, and 2008. 

This past season, the Red Dragons tied for the SUNYAC regular-season title with a 19-3 mark, won the conference tournament title and tied for fifth nationally at the World Series. Cortland finished the season with a 39-13 record, which is the seventh consecutive season the program has recorded 30 or more victories. Lenhart and her staff again received the NFCA Division III Northeast Region "Coaching Staff of the Year" award.

In 2004, the Red Dragons tied for seventh nationally after their second straight trip to the World Series and finished the season with a 37-9 record. During the season, Lenhart registered her 400th career win and guided Cortland to the SUNYAC regular-season title. For the third time overall and second season in a row, Lenhart and her staff received the NFCA Division III Northeast Region “Coaching Staff of the Year” award. In 2005, Julie once again led the Red Dragons to the SUNYAC regular-season and tournament titles and their third straight NCAA playoff trip. During the year, she also collected her second SUNYAC "Coach of the Year" as well as her 300th career win at Cortland.

Julie brings an outstanding camp staff to work with campers during the week.  Join her for an intensive week of softball and improve your game!
