    Mady Bunnell

    Camp Director

    Mady’s coaching philosophy is rooted in curiosity, encouragement, and growth. She loves helping athletes understand why they do what they do, not just how — because learning sticks when kids are engaged, asking questions, and excited to try again. Her camps balance skill development with energy, creativity, and plenty of fun. She is deeply committed to growing the game of softball and teaching young girls to believe in their voice, their abilities, and their potential. Mady challenges her athletes to care about the game, their teammates, and themselves, and to always leave the game better than they found it. As a camp director, Mady focuses on creating a safe, positive, and unforgettable experience where athletes improve their skills, make friends, and go home excited to keep playing.
