Clinic participants will learn to master the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching, catching and base running. Each day of the clinic will focus on different aspects of the game:
Thursday, Aug. 7 - Offensive skills including hitting, bunting, slapping, base running and situations.
Friday, Aug. 8 - Defensive skills including Infield and Outfield skills and situations.
Saturday, Aug. 9 - Pitching and catching.

According to Daytona State's Head Softball Coach, Sabrina Manhart, "With special appearances by NCAA Regional and College World Series players, we anticipate a great turn out for this clinic and look forward to participation from the community. The clinic is geared toward students aged eight years old through high school senior, and I'm sure there are talented and upcoming players who can use this time to develop their skills."
Participants should bring a lunch, sunscreen, glove, cleats, bat, tennis shoes for indoor facility use, catcher's gear (if applicable), towel and swimsuit.
