Assistant Coach: Derek Stanya (Seventh year in 2025-26)
Derek Stanya has been a member of the Farmingdale State College softball coaching staff since the 2019-20 academic year. A long-time veteran in the travel softball ranks and a former collegiate student-athlete, his primary focuses with the Rams include recruiting and the team's defense.
Stanya, who coached his daughter Allie at FSC during her illustrious Skyline Conference Player of the Year and All-Region career in the pitcher's circle, has served as a manager and coach in travel softball for the last 13 years – including the last seven in the Long Island Surge organization.
