Kansas City Kansas Community College softball coach Jenn Strohman has been named National Fastpitch Coaches Association's NJCAA DII Assistant Coach of the Year. She is one of 11 coaches who were honored as 2022 Easton/NFCA Assistant Coaches of the Year.
An integral part of the KCKCC program, Strohman helped guide the Blue Devils to a seventh-place finish at the 2022 NJCAA DII National Championship, following the team’s first District B title since 2004. Working with the hitters and outfielders, Strohman tutored a pair of first team NFCA All-Americans, as well as four KJCCC DII All-Conference players. She is the sole person in charge of the softball complex as well as the academics from study hall to grade checks. Due to her diligence, the team has continually been a top program in the athletic department as well as a top-10 finisher in the Easton/NFCA Team GPA awards.
“I am humbled by this award,” Strohman said. “It is rare to have the collaboration and support that Coach (Lana) Ross has provided me as first a player and now as my mentor. This is evidenced by our success last season as a team and my recognition as a coach.”
Winners were nominated by NFCA member coaches and selected by a panel of their peers on the NFCA Awards Committee. The awards salute the efforts of coaches from the various NFCA membership categories for their tireless dedication to the sport of softball and to the continued education, growth and development of young women, both on and off the playing field. Winners will be recognized Dec. 10 during the NFCA Convention’s Annual Awards Brunch.
The NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) is the professional organization for fastpitch softball coaches. Known for its highly regarded coaching awards, the NFCA also educates and supports softball coaches on a variety of different levels: from webinars to legal counsel, to in-person events and the National Convention.
