Softball FUNdamentals Clinic For Grades 2-5
It’s true that there are not as many young girls involved with softball as there are boys in baseball. Our goal is to change that. This clinic will emphasize the basic fundamentals of the game in a setting that will allow them to see how fun softball can be. The main topics will include:

Correct throwing motion
Catching the ball
Hitting
Fielding
How to "Be in the Game"
Introduction to Windmill Pitching

Given the age of these players, time will be spent both reviewing past material and introducing new skills. We believe in this methodology because young players can rarely be taught something once and be expected to master that skill.
