Coach Brittany Carl
Coach Carl currently serves as the head softball coach for Middleton High School, a perennial power in the highly competitive Big 8 Conference. Since taking the reins, Carl has led the Cards to multiple winning seasons, a number of program milestones and deep postseason runs year after year.
As a student-athlete, Carl enjoyed an illustrious collegiate career at NCAA Division I Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ. A four-year starter at shortstop for the Pirates, Carl earned both All-BIG EAST and Capital One Academic All-America accolades, and remains ranked in the top-10 in program history in a number of key offensive categories. To cap her impressive career, Carl was awarded the BIG EAST Sport Excellence Award, as well as the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship – an honor given to only 29 female and 29 male spring sport student-athletes across all three NCAA divisions. In 2013, Seton Hall University recognized Carl as both its Scholar Athlete of the Year and its Most Valuable Pirate, the latter of which recognizes a senior student-athlete who displays leadership, dedication and exemplary contributions on the field, in the classroom and in the community. As a senior, Carl was also endorsed as one of Seton Hall University’s candidates for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.
Upon graduating from The Hall in 2013, Carl turned her sights to coaching, ultimately hoping to share her experience and passion for the game with the next generation of softball players. She has led teams and instructed athletes all over the country, across various age and skill levels.
