The softball instructional sessions are geared for players who wish to learn the basic skills of the game. The players will have an opportunity to work on all areas of their game - hitting, fielding, diving, sliding, game play, bunting, and more. There will be use of pitching machines and batting cages.
Session C: Skills
This session has several specific emphases; teaching the skills of infield and outfield play and the mental game that goes along with these positions. This session is for players who are looking to elevate their level of softball. The players will be taught the different positional responsibilities for infield and outfield positions. They will also be taught various skills and techniques for hitting.
Session D: Pitching and Catching
This session will allow players to focus on pitching and catching. We will be teaching them the skills needed to be a solid pitcher/catcher. They will also learn what type of mentality they will need to have in order to be successful behind the plate or on the mound. They will learn different drills and advanced skills that they can take with them to practice even after the camp concludes.
