We are pleased to offer a few different types of clinics for 2024!

Pitching & Catching Clinics

Catching Info
Join us for a six-week catcher's clinic designed to elevate your skills behind the plate. This program will delve into crucial elements of the catcher's role, including stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, and executing tags. 

Players are encouraged to bring their personal catching gear, but worry not if you don't have it—extra sets will be available for those in need.

Our primary aim is to provide each participant with ample practice opportunities and valuable insights that can be applied in future seasons. All skill levels are welcome, and prior experience is not required.

Beginner/Intermediate Clinics (6U-10U)

Hopkins Fastpitch - hosted beginner/intermediate fundamental skills clinics, are led by Hopkins Fastpitch coaches, volunteers and high school players and focuses on developing fundamental softball skills in a fun environment.  We will spend time working on throwing drills, hitting and basic fielding drills. These clinics are designed for players that will play at the 6U-10U levels next summer or who are new to softball.

Advanced Skills Clinics (10U and above)

We are partnering with Hit Dawg Academy (www.gohitdawg.com) to offer advanced skills clinics focused on developing players hitting, fielding and throwing capabilities.  This program is designed for players who have played fastpitch for several years and are in need of intermediate-advanced skills development.

We will be focusing on developing proper Throwing, Fielding and Hitting mechanics. We will test Bat Velo and Arm Velo the 1st week and the 8th week. We will also be taking videos of throwing and hitting mechanics to show what drills the players need to individually focus on.

~ Week 3-4 Breaking down specific positions. Speeding up the proper mechanics with drill that apply moving through the ball for defense, to hitting off slow pitching machines
~ Week 5-6 Working different positions together. (Middles, corners, Catchers/Pitcher, Outfielders to cut)
