at all levels and out commitment to those clinics won't change.
Over the years, a growing number of coaches have expressed a desire to learn the
advanced strategies and skills and that's what this clinic is all about - helping you take
your coaching to the next level.
The Advanced National Softball Coaches Clinic has been designed for the coach who
has a strong knowledge of the fundamental skills and strategies. There will be instruction
on specific advanced skills along with a strong emphasis on the strategies and mental
aspects of the game. In an effort to create a setting where coaches and instructors will be
able to exchange and discuss ideas and experiences, we will LIMIT REGISTRATION. I encourage
you to pre-register early.
We have selected a wide variety of topics for you to hear and they will be geared toward
giving you some of the detailed information that has helped these coaches reach the highest
