In September 2000, he began working part-time as the Head Coach of Fastpitch Softball with Chattahoochee Valley Community College. He is entering his 24th season as the Lady Pirates Head Softball Coach.


In 1976, Coach O’Steen graduated from Central High School and enrolled in Chattahoochee Valley Community College in 1977. He began his career in law enforcement in 1977 as a dispatcher with the Phenix City Police Department. In 1978, he became a patrolman and graduated 3rd in his class at the Alabama Peace Officer’s Minimum Standards Academy and was also elected President of his Academy Class.

In 1992, Steve attended and graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy and has remained an active member of that Association. In 2000, he was transferred to Patrol Commander with the Sheriff’s Department.


Coach O’Steen is currently a National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association member and has completed the eight courses offered by the National Fastpitch Coaches College.


In 23 seasons, Steve has accumulated several accolades, including taking the Pirates to the NJCAA Region XXII tournament 16 times and winning the NJCAA Region XXII South Conference once. He has coached six NJCAA Academic All-American teams and 25 NJCAA Academic All-American players.

Coach O’Steen is married to Jane Wood O’Steen, and they have one daughter, Candice O’Steen Jenks Davis, and one grandson, Benton Ryland Jenks. Steve and his family are members of Crawford Road Baptist Church, and it would be “hard” to find a coach with a bigger heart for softball than Coach O’Steen. His humble nature belies his competitive spirit and passion for softball and the many student-athletes he has coached and mentored for most of his career, which has spanned over 40 years. He and Ms. Jane have not only welcomed student-athletes to Chattahoochee Valley Community College, but they have also welcomed them into their hearts and home. Whether it’s preparing a delicious meal or offering moral support, the O’Steens have treated each student as though one of their own. As a servant leader, Coach O’Steen has not only coached too many student-athletes to count in the game of softball, but he has also helped them navigate the game of life.
