Julie Smith to join USFC in Arizona at Holiday Camp!!
Posted: 08/14/09
Former U.S. Olympian Julie Smith is in her second season as head coach of the University of LaVerne Leopard softball program.
Under Smith, the Leopards captured the inaugural SCIAC Tournament Championship in 2008 as the #4 seed to earn a spot in the NCAA West Regionals. La Verne finished the season winning 12 of its final 15 games en route to a 28-19 overall mark. Six players earned All-SCIAC honors in 2008.
A decorated softball player at the collegiate, national and international level, Smith was the starting second baseman on the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team that captured the gold medal in Atlanta. She also was a member of two World Championship teams and three Pan American squads that earned gold medals.
Smith has amassed eight years of coaching experience from the club level to the professional ranks. She currently serves as president of Teamsmith, Inc., coaching three of its Amateur Softball Association (ASA) travel teams. She also spent the 2005 season as general manager and head coach of the New York/New Jersey Juggernaut franchise of National Pro Fastpitch (NPF).
A native of Glendora, Smith graduated from Charter Oak High School and was a member of Texas A&M's 1987 NCAA national championship squad as a freshman. She also earned All-America honors that season before transferring to Fresno State. At FSU she would go on to earn All-America honors in 1990 and 1991 while helping the Bulldogs to an NCAA second-place finish in '90. Smith was named Fresno State's Female Athlete of the Year in 1991 and earned a spot on the NCAA 25th Anniversary Team in 2006.

Fastpitch Feedback
"My daughter Kay attended your recent December 2007 camp in Scottsdale, AZ....Kay reports to me that she was quite pleased with the camp experience, albeit totally worn out by it! She has already begun to lobby for a return trip next winter!
One of the reasons I was so pleased by the camp was that it was a SOFTBALL centered program, not a half-softball, half-summer camp experience. We came to Arizona to train and your coaches did that--they trained Kay! kay and I both were pleased with the approach and professionalism of all the coaches. Kay learned much and had a lot of fun and I (as a 20 year baseball coach) also learned some new things as well! To my observation, all the coaches were skilled as well as polite and patient with the parents. The coaches progressions were sound and their ability to keep such a wide age span motivated is a real skill...."
