SWAMPSCOTT GIRLS SOFTBALL OFF TO A GREAT START
By Glenn Kessler
The Swampscott girl’s softball program is getting ready for our upcoming season and we have a number of exciting events available for the girls and their parents.
We will be offering a skills clinic geared toward Minors and Majors age level players scheduled to begin Sunday February 26th and will run every Sunday thereafter for 7 weeks at the High School Gym. The pitching and skills clinic will be instructed by former Division 1 Ohio University pitcher Kate Mallette. “Kate’s skills in the game of softball and her ability to instruct the kids on the many finer points of the game are unsurpassed. We have been working together for 3 years now and the consistent improvement the girls who work with her exhibit is just awesome.”, said softball player agent Gary Lord.
The times for the clinics are:
Pitchers and catchers session: 4pm-5pm
General Skills session: 5pm-6pm
Location: SHS gym
The Cost: $10 per session or $60 prepaid for all 7 sessions
If participating in both sessions the cost is $100 for 14 hours of instruction. (A great deal)
As part of our promotion of the girls softball program we will also have an Open House session with the girls and parents on February 13th at 7 PM at SHS cafeteria. The purpose of the open house will be to explain exciting changes with the softball program, answer questions, and register the girls for sign ups and clinics. Bob Powell, former player agent and active board member, is also working on establishing a coaches clinic to promote best practices that will continue to make the softball program at all levels more active and fun for the girl’s, while they learn the game’s many intricacies.
Dates to keep in mind: 3/24 and 25 for tryouts for Minors/Majors at SHS
First available game day 4/21
As softball parents, we want to do everything we can to make Swampscott Little League Softball as enjoyable as possible for the girls. Our goal is to help teach the skills the girls can use to play the game through high school and beyond and to play town ball with the mechanics in hand to make them have the best and most enjoyable season possible.
