HITTING SCHOOLThis camp will give your daughter a head start on the upcoming spring season. The camp offers a low player-coach ratio where each hitter will receive individual attention in a small group atmosphere. Each hour-long session will include hands-on coaching from members of the Bethany Softball staff. The hitters will go through a series of different stations that will offer a fun yet challenging environment. This type of instruction will hopefully get your daughter in great softball shape and put her well on the way to being a successful hitter in the upcoming season.
