Stefan Schroffner steps down after four seasons as Marist softball coach

Stefan Schroffner announced this week he has stepped down as head coach of the Marist Catholic softball program after four seasons.

"For now, as much as I love coaching Marist softball, I've decided that the time is right to spend more time with family and go back to being a softball parent, fan, and one-sport (soccer) coach again," Schroffner wrote in an email on Friday.

Schroffner will continue to coach the Spartans girls soccer team, a position he has held since 2019.

During Schroffner's softball tenure, Marist went 70-32, including a non-OSAA-sanctioned 4A state title in 2021 and state runner-up finish in 2022. The Spartans were also two-time league champions and made playoff appearances in 2023 and earlier this year.

"I am humbled and honored to have had the opportunity to coach a softball program with a proud tradition of excellence, and I look forward to passing the coaching torch to the next head coach of Marist Softball," Schroffner added.
