P&HCC Softball to Host Second Annual NJCAA/JUCO Jamboree

MARTINSVILLE, VA – Patrick & Henry Community College (P&HCC) softball invites the community to attend the second annual National Junior College Athletic Association (JUCO) Softball Jamboree February 22-25, 2024 at Southside Park in Martinsville. The pre-season national tournament will feature 2023 nationally ranked Division II and Division III softball teams from around the country, including the eighth ranked Lady Pats of P&HCC.

"It is so important to us to be able to host in our area so the community can be involved and see the talent both here locally and nationally. Our team is excited to participate in an event of this scale to get the P&H name out there and to play outside of our conference and region. We moved up in the ranks last year following the jamboree - we started about 500 and moved up to 8," said P&H softball coach Robbi Campbell.

The public is encouraged to support P&HCC's team, which includes local student athletes from Bassett, Danville, Henry, and South Boston, as well as from Virginia Beach, North Carolina and Texas, during their Saturday (2:15) and Sunday (2:15) games. "Our student athletes are definitely students first - for the last four years our team has won the GPA award for the college – but they're also outstanding athletes. We're excited to see where we go this year," said Campbell.

Admission for the Jamboree is $7 for a single day pass, $10 for a 2-day pass, $15 for a 3-day pass, and $20 for an all-access pass, which includes admission to all 26 games played over the four-day event.
