Whitley Softball Field

2135 North Park Dr.

Whitley Field, home of the Catawba softball team, is named after longtime head coach Nan Whitley. It has been the location for Catawba since it moved to fast pitch for the 1990 season and for the final three years of slow pitch.

The dimensions are 200 feet from the left field line to the right field line with a fence height of eight feet. Several improvements have been made over the years, including a small press box, visiting bull pen area and a covered and lighted batting cage.

Whitley Field has been the site of several conference championships, including six straight years of the Spring Sports Festival from 1995-2000. Catawba also hosted the SAC Tournament in 2006 and will be the site for the 2013 championships. Whitley Field was also used as the practice facility for the WPSL’s Carolina Diamonds in 2012.
