Softball clinic with Bellevue High School Fastpitch team
Great weather set the stage for the softball clinic for our Bellevue West softball players. Our Bellevue West players got to meet the high school players, go through the standard warm up sequence, and then work through batting, base running, infield, and outfield stations. In addition, players who expressed interest in pitching or catching recieved additional instruction in these specialized areas. There were lots of smiles all around.
A big thanks to BHS Coach Heather Tracy and her 2010 varsity squad for a fun and instructional clinic!
