Recruiting Seminar
This seminar provides an opportunity to learn all you need to know about the recruiting process from a coaches and players point of view. Learn the do’s and don’ts, how to prepare a video and resume, things you should and should not look for in a school and/or softball program, and some NCAA guidelines to be aware of. The seminar provides an in-depth look at how to make sense of this complicated process. Both player and parent are encouraged to attend. Each participant receives a detailed outline. The College Prep Seminar is a must see for the player and parent looking to play softball at the college level.

Mini-Camp
The Mini-Camp is designed to offer instruction and practice time in all areas of the game.  We feature small group instruction as the campers move through the camp stations as a part of a team of campers of similar age and skill level.  Our experienced instructors adjust the level of instruction to each group of players.  There are some fun activities but Championship Softball is geared towards players who are looking to improve their skills by working with the best instructors available.

Hitting is an area of emphasis with time spent each day on instruction, trouble shooting and practice time.  Drills to improve mechanics and bat speed are included to allow players to take new ideas home with them to allow them to continue to improve long after they leave the camp.

Time is also invested in creating a well rounded athlete with instruction offered in strength, conditioning and sprint training.  The mental game is also introduced with a session on using goal setting, imagery and routines to improve play.

Defensive skills will be stressed with several sessions on fundamentals and skills specific to the position each camper plays.  Pitching, catching, infield and outfield skills are all covered as a part of sessions designed to give each player an opportunity to work on the position they play.
