What Camp Should I Attend?
Youth Beginner Camp (ages 7-12) is for the young softball player with a beginning interest in softball, or who may have some organized play experience.

Advanced Camp (ages 12-18) is for the softball player who has had some experience in organized play. This player is interested in perfecting her play and learning more about the game. This player is also interested in learning the skills needed to "showcase her skills" at the collegiate level. This camp will be broken down into varsity level for the older experienced player seeking that "showcase level", and the junior varsity level for the younger player seeking to advance her skills. Both camps will cover all aspects of the game and all players will participate in a daily game.
