D3 Softball Colleges: Which ones in each state?

Hi there! I'm trying to explore my options for playing softball at a D3 college. I was wondering if there is a list or resource to help me find D3 softball colleges by state? I'd really like more info on what each school offers before I narrow down my list. Thanks!

Hi! It's great that you're considering playing softball at the D3 level. While there isn't a single comprehensive resource that lists D3 softball colleges by state along with information about each school, you can start by looking at this official list of D3 schools, published by the athletic recruitment consulting agency NCSA, that have softball programs: https://www.ncsasports.org/softball/division-3-colleges. This list is organized alphabetically and indicates the state that each college is in.

As you peruse this list, focus on the states you are interested in, and then research each college individually to see what they offer academically and athletically. Visiting each school's official website should give you insight into the academic programs, campus life, and the university's itinerary. For more information about the softball team itself and their stats, you can visit the athletic department's website of each respective school.

Additionally, websites like CollegeVine can help you explore colleges in-depth, by providing information about academic reputation, majors, student life, and financial aid. College directories like these are useful in providing comprehensive info and guidance on your search for the right fit personally and academically, as well as athletically.

Finally, don't forget to reach out to the softball coaches at the colleges you're interested in. They can provide additional information about the softball program and the recruitment process. Coaches often appreciate direct communication from potential student-athletes and can offer personalized assistance in your college search.

Best of luck in your search for the perfect D3 college with a softball program!
