Hitting Session
The hitting clinics will teach batters about the fundamentals, timing and construction of a softball swing. Batters will learn about situational hitting and how to handle a myriad of pitches including curve balls, inside/outside pitches, screwballs, rise balls, drop balls and off-speed pitches.
Slapping Session
The slapping sessions will give batters the opportunity to improve their approach by focusing on footwork, contact points and learning to read the defense. Special attention will be paid to power slapping, bunting and how to handle off-speed pitches.
Pitching Session
Pitchers will learn a variety of pitches including change ups, drops, rise balls, screwballs, curveballs as well as the art of pitch combination. Other work will include power drills and setting up hitters.
