2026 NCSCA All-District Awards NOTICE
The Association would like to sincerely apologize for an oversight regarding the 6A District 7 Player of the Year recognition.
Due to an administrative error, Kensley Davis was inadvertently omitted from the Co-Player of the Year category alongside the other 6A District 7 recipient. We regret this mistake and understand the importance of accurately recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of all deserving student-athletes.
The error has been corrected, and our website has been updated to properly reflect Kensley Davis as a 6A District 7 Co-Player of the Year.
We extend our sincere apologies to Kensley, her family, her coaches, teammates, and supporters for this oversight. Thank you for your understanding as we remain committed to recognizing our athletes with the accuracy and respect they deserve.

Wake Forest University Pitching Lab
The Wake Forest University Pitching Lab now offers fastpitch softball evaluations for athletes who want a deeper understanding of how they move, how they generate power, and how they can continue to develop while staying healthy. Using advanced technology and a multidisciplinary approach, the lab’s highly qualified staff captures the key details of each athlete’s delivery and physical profile to provide clear, individualized feedback. Because fastpitch softball places unique demands on the body, this evaluation is built specifically around the underhand pitching motion. The goal is to give athletes useful information they can take back to training, practice, and competition right away. For more information, follow this link.

Softball Needs Officials
In recent years we have seen a decline in the number of qualified individuals who participate in our sport through offering their services as game officials. Most notably, we see fewer younger people becoming umpires each year. This is a huge problem since we cannot play games without umpires. Statistics over the past ten years reveal that as umpires have become fewer, the number of high schools fielding softball teams in North Carolina has steadily grown with a corresponding increase in the number of games being played. In our state, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) governs, certifies, and manages officials for all high school sports. NCHSAA’s goal is to provide game officials all across the state who are competent, fair, and consistent in their craft. Officiating softball is an exciting profession to be part of as the overall skill level of our athletes continues to increase each year. We encourage anyone who would like to participate in our sport as an umpire to become an NCHSAA certified official. To find out how you can become a qualified softball umpire, you may access information here.
