Last Mon. May 23, the Cardinal softball team hosted a one-day teaching session for local players at the high school varsity softball field.

The clinic was put on in partnership with the local league program for kindergarten through eighth
graders. In total, 45 participants attended the two-hour session to learn skills from coaches and even
high school players.

“It was a great opportunity for the player to teach,” Head coach Dawn Thompson said.

Players were able to learn next level tools within pitching and fielding in the first portion from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., as well as hitting and bunting in the second portion from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The whole goal of the clinic: share the love of the game.

“It was great to give back to the next generation of Cardinals,” Thompson said.

Due to the success of the clinic, Thompson is hoping to create more opportunities for young players.
This includes hosting more camps through the year.

“We’re hoping to do more in the fall,” Thompson said.
