Caroline Hardy begins her second season as an assistant coach for the Young Harris College softball program.
Hardy comes to the Enchanted Valley after serving as a volunteer coach in 2020 at Georgia Tech for former YHC softball coach Aileen Morales.
Hardy graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in history and minor in sports management. She was a member of the Crimson Tide's 2019 squad that competed in the Women's College World Series. Her game-winning RBI in extra innings against top-seeded University of Oklahoma kept Alabama in the World Series, forcing the 'if necessary' game of the semifinal. She spent three seasons on the SEC academic honor roll (2016-18).
Hardy served as an assistant coach for the Fury Platinum 14U travel ball team in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the summer of 2016, helping the team to a fifth-place finish at ASA Nationals.
