Over the last 35 years, the Seminole program has done its part to help the game grow exponentially in that time span by churning out several All-America players, staffi ng quality coaches and stringing together many impressive seasons. With the 2013 season marking head coach Lonni Alameda’s fi fth as the Seminole skipper, the direction of the program continues to stay on the right path. Forty-win seasons continue to be a staple of the program, with 29 in the program’s 35 seasons. NCAA Championship appearances are always expected, with the Seminoles being one of just 11 schools to make an NCAA Regional in every year since 2000. Historically, there aren’t many programs that can match the numbers put up by Florida State: 11 Atlantic Coast Conference titles, seven NCAA Women’s College World Series appearances, two AIAW national championships, 25 All-Americans and 25 NCAA Championship appearances. Being a Florida State softball student-athlete does not mean the sole focus is just on the fi eld. Joining the program puts you in an instantaneous family that is fostered well by a fun-loving coaching staff that brings out the best in each player with team-building activities. In the 2012 offseason, members of the program were able to partake in valuable internships, speak to and inspire several youth athletes, join many community service activities, attend a nationally-renowned air show in Daytona Beach as well as go on a team-building trip near Pensacola. The team also got together for several holiday festivities, attended ESPN College Gameday and some players took part in a fashion magazine photo shoot to show off the team’s stylish side. In addition to the years of tradition etched in the Florida State softball program, the concept of team never holds a greater meaning than for those dressed in Garnet and Gold. Led by Alameda’s fun yet focused approach, Florida State softball student-athletes leave their careers with life-long memories. 7 wcws appearances 11 ACC titles 3 this is fLorida state softball facilities second to none The Seminole Softball Complex • Known as one of NCAA softball’s best venues, JoAnne Graf Field is a modernized fi eld of play that caters quite well to student-athletes, coaches, fans and other spectators. • Since opening in 1999, Florida State has played to the venue’s home- fi eld advantage.
