Event Description

SOFTBALL ACADEMY

The Ram Softball Academy is a new clinic series designed to give athletes the opportunity to work with the CSU softball coaches in a small group setting.  These instructional clinics will teach the same philosophies and use the same drills that the CSU Softball team uses for their training and development.  The CSU Academies are open to all ages and skill level.

CSU Softball Academies will be offered on different days throughout the fall.   Sessions that are offered are hitting, pitching, infield and catching.  Each session is limited in capacity so that every athlete will get to work closely with the coach on their skill.

Colorado State Softball Clinics are committed to improving the overall skill level of each individual regardless of age or level.  Come work with the CSU Softball coaches and learn new drills and philosophies to continue to improve and develop in the sport of softball.  Space is limited so sign up now to reserve your spot.  We look forward to working with you!  Go Rams!

Hitting: The Hitting Clinic is a great opportunity to work with Coach Cloer to improve your overall swing mechanics.  This session is limited to 5 participants so each athlete will get a lot of swings in while learning new drills and philosophies to improve their offensive game.

Pitching: Learn the fundamentals, drills, and key theories on the cutting edge of softball pitching.  You won’t just be doing drills, you will be understanding the how and why of the drills.  Concepts of how to get the most out of your lower half, proper upper body mechanics, and movement pitches will be covered, as well as pitching mentality and game strategy.  Space is limited to 5 participants.

Infield: The Infield session is a great opportunity to work with Coach Fisher on improving your defensive skills.  At the completion of the clinic, you will have a better understanding of proper fielding mechanics, first step quickness, drop steps and many more skills needed to be competitive as an infielder.  Space is limited to 20 participants.

Catching: Catcher defense often gets left off of the practice plan or is the first thing to go when practice time runs out.  Here you will learn some key drills that you can quickly and efficiently work into your daily practice and pre-game routines so that you can stay sharp.  Come work with Coach Cloer and improve your skills in receiving, blocking, throw downs, pickoffs, and many other fundamentals required for being an elite catcher.
