SFA Community Softball Clinics

A proposal for minico high school

This proposal outlines two days of softball clinics designed to support the development of players at both the high school and youth levels including:

  • 2-day clinic for Minico High School Softball

  • 3 hour community youth clinic for ages 11-14

  • 2 pitching clinic options: 1 for high school and 1 for youth

Clinics will focus on fundamental skill development, situational awareness, mindset training, and leadership development, while providing practical instruction players can use immediately. The goal is to provide high-quality instruction, meaningful reps, and an engaging learning environment that helps athletes grow both on and off the field.

Proposed Dates: April 10-11 or April 17-18
