This summer is the perfect time to improve your softball skills at 5 Tool Academy. In addition to private lessons, there are opportunities with a Pitching Academy and Summer Skills Camp.
Softball Summer Skills Camp – Ages 7-14
Ball State University Assistant Softball Coach Josh Johnson is teaming up with 5 Tool Academy’s Lyndsay Gadbury to host two Softball Skills Camps! They will be joined by other 5 Tool instructors and current Ball State Softball players to provide an outstanding player development experience. This is a terrific opportunity to improve your game with some of the most experienced softball instructors in the area.
July 18-20 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. each day for athletes ages 7-14.
The camp will offer instruction and experience in the fundamentals of softball: hitting, fielding and base running. Athletes will have the opportunity to develop their skills using many of the same drills and techniques as Ball State Softball – all while having fun!
The Softball Skills Camps are planned at Stephenson Park (next to Yorktown Middle School), but in the event of rain, the camp will be held at 5 Tool Academy’s indoor batting cages and field.
Cost is $99 and includes a shirt.
