Eph Players***
A group of Williams College softball players will round out the coaching staff in '12. They bring a perspective that enables all Academy students to learn what it takes to be a college softball player as well as balance the rigors of academics. In 2012 we will have five SAWC former campers on our Williams varsity roster. In 2011 we had eight current or former Ephs working at SAWC.
Winter Academy and clinics are staffed by the Williams College players and coaches.
