Club Information

Indy Inventational

Your 2022-2023 Club Softball Team

We are part of the National Club Softball Association (NCSA) Division I and compete in the Great Lakes Central Conference. Our conference consists of Central Michigan University, Notre Dame University, and Western Michigan University. Our club advisor is Andrew Rolls. We play year-round from September to May. Most of our Conference games are played in the Fall and Regionals and Nationals are played in the spring. In the NCSA, our games are usually scheduled as triple headers on Sundays and we only meet with each team once a year. For example, we may host Central this fall, but they will host us in the fall of next year. We are planning on holding mandatory practices from 7-8 p.m. on Mondays, 5-6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and 5-6:45 p.m. on Thursdays in the fall. During the winter, we will be practicing in the turf building as well as lifting, and times are TBA.

  • President: Katelyn Pollet
  • Vice President: Marin Ponitz
