Portland State University Softball Camps

Overview

Viking Softball Camps at Portland State brings together the energy of a competitive NCAA Division I program with hands-on training for aspiring players. Based in Portland, Oregon, the camp is anchored by the Portland State University Vikings softball program, a member of the Big Sky Conference. Under the current head coach, the Vikings have built a remarkable streak of seven straight Big Sky Tournament appearances, capped by the program's second-ever Big Sky Tournament Championship in 2021. That title run was followed by consecutive semifinal finishes, underscoring a sustained level of conference-level success that gives campers a genuine taste of what it takes to compete at the Division I Big Sky level.

Coaching Staff

Meadow McWhorter serves as Head Coach and enters her 10th season at Portland State in 2026. Hired on July 7, 2016, she is only the fifth head coach the program has had since its founding in 1977. Before joining the Vikings, McWhorter spent 14 years leading the Mt. Hood Community College softball program and was inducted into the NWAC Hall of Fame in July 2022.

Her impact in Portland has been substantial: seven consecutive Big Sky Tournament berths, a 2021 Big Sky Tournament Championship, and back-to-back semifinal runs. Over her tenure she has guided 25 players to first- or second-team All-Big Sky honors, produced four individual conference award winners (including Emily Johansen, named 2023 Big Sky Conference Player of the Year), and earned four All-Pacific Region selections. In February, McWhorter collected her 150th career victory at Portland State, making her just the second coach in program history to reach that mark.
