The event will include a softball skills clinic paired with a SpeakHER Panel of female college athletes talking to the youth players about some of the important non-technical parts of the game: how to be a good teammate; how to find and maintain confidence; how to still enjoy the game when things don't always go the way we want; and other important life lessons learned through sport.
Players will be divided by age and/or skill level, as well as ball size.
All attendees must bring their own gear (batting helmet, face shield, glove, bat, cleats, and athletic attire that is appropriate for the weather and playing softball). Please make sure all gear is labeled with your contact info and/or athlete's name.
All attendees must bring their own drinks, snacks, and lunch for the day.
