Hi Academy teams!

My name is Jennifer Palmares and I graduated in 2020 from California State East Bay as a student-athlete. In those four years, I was the starting shortstop, batted lead off, had over a .300 batting average, ranked 4th in doubles for overall CSUEB history, and was selected as CCAA Honorable mention. I specialize in defense, but primarily middle infield.

Playing competitive softball isn’t only about winning games. While winning is a bonus, the bigger picture is obtaining a college scholarship and learning life lessons. For that to happen, it requires you putting in the extra work. You’ll soon realize that this game teaches you time management, dedication, commitment, accountability, and team work-which are highly valued life lessons used in a successful career. Self reflect and ask yourself, “Why am I here?” My why is because I want to give back and help those who were in my shoes when I first started. I can help get you there, but it starts with YOU. What is your Why?
