Softball – Varsity

The Episcopal Softball program fields a Middle School and Varsity team. The program has advanced to post season play every year for the past five years. The Varsity team finished the 2024 season ranked 19th in the state in all classifications and fifth in the state in 3A. The teams use Marchman Field for practices and home games. The Farley Callaghan Softball Training Facility next to Marchman Field has a covered batting cage that includes four hitting tunnels (which can be divided into eight shorter tunnels). Nets can also be pulled back to allow for one large covered area for defensive work (pitching and fielding). Four soft toss/tee stations and two bullpen areas were recently installed as well. Two additional bullpen stations and an infield area are available for pitchers and infielders behind the facility. All home games are live streamed through the NFHS Network. Episcopal’s softball field showcases one of the most picturesque views in the state with the St. Johns River and the Hart Bridge as a backdrop.
