Indian Hills fielded a softball team for the first time in the 1989 season and immediately qualified for the national tournament by winning the state JUCO tournament. Two years later, the Warriors started a streak of 15 straight national tourney appearances, a run that lasted through the 2005 season.
The Warrior softball team is one of four Iowa community college teams that play in Division I of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Indian Hills plays a fall schedule against both two-year and four-year schools. The Warriors’ spring schedule is made up of opponents from other two-year schools in Iowa and the Midwest. Indian Hills has taken a season-opening spring trip to Florida for a number of years.
Indian Hills has an excellent indoor practice facility, the Tom Arnold Net Center on the Ottumwa Campus, which it utilizes during the winter months. Home games are played at the beautiful R. L. Hellyer Field, adjacent to the Tom Arnold Net Center.
Indian Hills has had 34 softball All-Americans in the program’s history and has had at least one Academic All-American every year since 1992. The Indian Hills softball team has been named an Academic All-American Team for the past nine years in a row.
