Learn To Play Softball
Let's Make Learning FUN!
Learn to Play Softball Program is a revolutionary way of introducing the sport of softball to 4-9 year old children. Activities are included, which foster the involvement of ALL players, including players with high and low skill levels. The child will experience excitement, enjoyment and success. Activities and lead-up games are patterned after informal playground games that promise an hour of FUN and LOTS OF ACTION. Participants will go home at the end of the night happy and tired while improving their fitness level and softball skills.
Learn to Play Softball Program is designed to be a young person's introduction to the sport of softball. The emphasis is on FUN, ACTION, and a POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE, with gradual introduction to non-stressful competition. Learn to Play Softball provides children aged 4 - 9 with maximum opportunity to practice the skills necessary to successfully take part in the (adult) game of softball. Learn to Play Softball allows children of all skill levels to achieve the same number of skills repetitions. The drills also offer a high success rate for every child, which improves every player's self confidence.
