A nice break in last week's rain allowed us to hold the first of our weekly pitcher and player clinics last weekend. Here's what coach Kelly Helms had to say about the girls (and coaches!) who participated:"I just wanted to thank the young ladies and their parents who committed their time this weekend to softball. Friday night I had a chance to work with five young ladies pitching. The younger girls worked on basic technique, while the older girls fine tuned their pitching motion. We even did a bit of work on a change up.
"Saturday we worked with three young ladies and their dads/coaches working on throwing technique and defensive stance. Dads and Coaches even got a chance to participate and learn too! We worked on skills like shuffle step, forehand, and backhand and then practiced them with simulated ground balls. To wrap up the session, we worked a bit on base running. We worked on running through the bag and rounding the bag in the event of a base hit.
"Next session we will expand on the skills we worked on this time but add defensive skills like flips, fly balls, crow hop, and more! We hope to see you there!"
We'll be back out on the Pacific Union School field this Friday and Saturday (April 3-4)! Coaches: This is a great opportunity, not only for your players, but for you to learn some great new skills and drills as well!
