How to Choose the Best Softball Clinic
By guest author: Monica Martinez
When looking for the best softball clinic to attend there are a couple of important things to consider. First would be the knowledge of the coaching staff. Then you would need to consider the experience of the coaching staff. Then ask yourself, "How much one on one coaching am I going to get?" "Will I be seen by elite college coaches?" and "Will I be getting my money's worth in such a camp?"
When considering knowledgeable clinicians, one must expect that the clinician has played or coached at the highest levels. These levels would include the PFX (Professional Fast pitch Extreme), the USA National team, and the top college programs. One would also expect the clinician to have good communication skills, a great attitude and a lot of information to provide. Clinicians should be able to humanize and personalize the road to success in softball. The clinician must also be able to access a players skill level and approach it in a way that every player in learning.
Obviously the ideal number of campers per instructor would be one to one, however that is unrealistic. Realistically a good number would be one to ten. A great number would be one to five. In such a group, players can not only get information that matches their specific needs, but are also able to improve their skills with teamwork.
Besides getting top level information, a quality softball clinic should also allow the campers to showcase their abilities to college coaches of varying levels in a fun environment. This will allow campers of all skill levels to show off what they have learned, what they can provide to possible college teams, and quite possibly could gain rewards from their hard work such as recognition by top notch college coaches.
Most people when looking for a softball camp, look for a facility that they feel will be worth their money. These types of camps obviously would include a camp that provides knowledge that can be learned at that specific time and place and also information the players can use then they get back to their team. The clinicians of the camp would also be expected to teach the player in a positive and fun environment so the player can feel like they enjoyed learning. Players should also be expected to hear from the clinicians what softball life is like after high school.
In looking for a knowledgeable and experienced coaching staff remember to find one with a small coach to player ratio, a camp worth your time and money, and quality time to showcase the campers to top notch colleges.
