The Dana College softball team will once again be hosting camps for players in 3rd through 12th grade. The pitching and catching clinics will group girls 3rd through 7th grade and 8th through 12th grade. There will be one on one attention for the campers during each session. The advanced clinic is for players with quite a bit of experience (high school varsity or high level ASA) – call if you have questions!
*Softball Skills: Both defense and offense will be taught and refined. Topics covered will be hitting, bunting, base running, throwing, receiving, groundballs, fly balls, and other fundamental skills. There will be time spent on the mental part of the game as well. Players will need to bring tennis shoes, a glove, a bat, a water bottle, sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt (we will be working on sliding and diving fundamentals).
*Pitching: The basic fundamentals of pitching will be emphasized. For more advanced pitchers, specialty pitches will be covered. The mental aspect of pitching and pitcher/catcher relationships will be addressed throughout the clinic as well. Pitchers that are coming alone must make sure they have someone to catch for them. Video cameras are allowed.
*Catching: The basic fundamentals of catching will be addressed during this clinic. Footwork, blocking, framing, throwing downs, and pick offs will all be taught and fine-tuned. There will be a lot of one on one with catchers during this time. Catchers will need to bring their own catching gear.
