Founded in December 2002, cooperating with Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education and Jiangsu Provincial Sport Administration, Jiangsu Women’s Softball Team of Nanjing Tech University was regulated with the model of “combining education and sports, provincial team held by the universities” at that time. This model was further deepened after the 11th National Games when the university cooperated with Changzhou Municipal People’s Government to build another model of “team jointly held by province, university and city”. At present, it is a key and featured project of NanjingTech. The team members will be admitted to Nanjing Tech University as students after passing the National College Entrance Examination. The credit system and other accommodative student management models have been rationally used for athletes to help them solve the contradiction between learning and training, and to create favorable conditions for their employment after retirement. Among them, there are 1 Provincial Outstanding League Member, 1 Provincial Merit Student, 18 Nanjing “Woman Pace-setter”, and 14 university-level Outstanding League Members. Team members have won first, second and third scholarships several times as well. The team endeavors to become a brand sports team at the national or even world level through the management of Nanjing Tech University. With the support of the General Administration of Sport of China, Jiangsu Provincial Sport Administration, Nanjing Tech University and Changzhou Municipal People’s Government, there are 1 team leader, 2 deputy team leaders, 1 team manager, 1 head coach, 2 assistant coaches, 22 front-line athletes and 18 second-string athletes. In 2017, a total of 19 team members from Jiangsu women’s first-front and second-front softball teams were selected for the Chinese National Team and the China Youth Team. In 2005, the university was re-accredited by the Ministry of Education and General Administration of Sport of China as one of the 235 colleges and universities that can enroll high-level athletes including softball players. In 2006, the “China University Baseball and Softball Training Base” was set up in the university, and in April 2009, the “Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Special Contribution Award” was awarded to NanjingTech by the Chinese Softball Association. In May 2009, the Baseball and Softball Branch of the Federation of University Sports of Jiangsu Province was established in the university. In May 2011, NanjingTech was awarded as “China Softball Training Base” by the Handball, Hockey, Baseball and Softball Center of the General Administration of Sport of China. Focus on building a high level softball team, NanjingTech endeavors to cultivate high level sports talents for the country, and meet the goal of participating in the National Games, the FISU World University Games and other international, domestic and provincial major sports competitions, and contributing to the national “Olympic Glorious Program” and the sustainable development of competitive sports. Since its foundation, the team has participated in the National Softball Championship, National Youth Women’s Softball Tournament, Champion Cup, and international softball invitational tournaments in Taiwan(China), Korea, Japan, the United States and Canada. In recent years, the team has also invited many friendly teams from home and abroad to visit the university for friend matches. Driven by the aspirations to win glory for the country and the university, the team has won championships titles many times, including the National Youth Softball Tournament champion(2004) , the 1st China University Softball Tournament champion(2004), and the 6th City Games champion(2007). Besides, the team has won the “Sportsmanship Award” several times. From Oct. 25 to Nov. 1, 2004, the softball team represented Chinese university students in the 1st World University Softball Tournament in the United States and won the 7th place, really realizing “Let NanjingTech enter the world and let the world know NanjingTech”. Thanks to the wonderful performances and great achievements, NanjingTech has been honored as an outstanding contribution unit of the national softball by the General Administration of Sport of China, and won the only best division of sports competition in the national colleges and universities in 2004. In October 2005, the university successfully hosted the softball competition of the 10th National Games, and our team won the sixth place. The softball team has won three champions in a row in National Games(2013, 2017, 2021). From 2009 to 2021, the team has won champions in thirteen consecutive years in national A1 competitions, successfully completing the task assigned by the provincial government.
