-Coach Mark Esselstein

I served as the varsity head softball coach at Parkway High School in Rockford, Ohio for 33 years, where I had the privilege of building and leading a program that consistently competed at a high level. Over the course of my career, my teams compiled an overall record of 551-171.

During my time at Parkway, we won 13 league championships, 13 district championships, and made 3 trips to the State Final Four. I was honored to be named Northwest Ohio Region Coach of the Year three times, and even more proud to see the growth and success of the many athletes I coached over the years.

​

In 2008, I was inducted into the Ohio High School Fastpitch Softball Coaches Hall of Fame, and in 2023, I was deeply honored to be inducted into the Parkway High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

​

After retiring from head coaching, I spent one season as an assistant coach at Matanzas High School in Florida, where I enjoyed the opportunity to continue sharing my knowledge and passion for the game.

​

Now, I’m excited to be working with Velocity and look forward to an exciting season ahead. I’m eager to help our athletes grow, compete, and reach their full potential both on and off the field.
