College Softball Camp - Jan. 7-8

[jimhewitt]

The 2012 College Softball Camp will be held January 7-8, 2012 at the Coquille Sports Complex, just off I-12 exit #57 in Covington, LA. Covington is located north of New Orleans, in-between Slidell and Hammond, LA. In addition to the six fields, numerous indoor facilities are also used. This is an opportunity for high school players to participate in workouts over two days with over 45 college coaches from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, & Florida. Players will rotate through various skills stations being instructed by the camp staff, as well as participate in controlled game type activities. Pitchers will work with Sherry Werner PhD, nationally noted biomechanics expert, author and researcher for windmill pitching, and also work with numerous of the college coaches that specialize in pitching. Campers will be introduced, instructed, and exposed to the college coach camp staff for 15 hours over the two days. A special FCA devotional led by college coaches will be held early Sunday morning for any campers and parents that would like to attend. Please note that this is not a traditional exposure event that puts a focus on playing games. The coaches want the vast majority of their interaction to be with the girls in smaller groups. The camp schedule that will be posted in December will reflect that focus, where players will be involved in camp activity non-stop.

Registration for the two-day camp is $175. Don’t delay as the camp has sold out in its previous four years, and 2012 applications have already exceeded the number received at this time last year by 45%. Last year, 270 young ladies from 16 states attended the camp. You can find detailed information on the camp, lodging, directions, contact info, camp video, and bio’s of the college coach staff online. Registration forms and a camp flyer can also be printed from the camp website: www.collegesoftballcamp.com

The resources are directed back to support the college coaches and their programs.
