by Alan Hoskins, KCKCC

Defense and pitching will be the focus of a softball camp for girls ages 8-18 at Kansas City Kansas Community College Monday through Wednesday, June 29-July 1.

The camp will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on the KCKCC softball field at 7250 State Ave. and will be directed by KCKCC head softball coach Kacy Tillery, assistant coach Tiffany Jennings and current and former all-conference players at KCKCC.

“The camp is designed for girls 8 to 18 to develop or enhance their defensive and pitching skills,” Tillery said. “The focus will be on fundamental skills as well as advanced skills depending upon the skill level of each individual player and will include station work and competitive contests.”

The cost is $50. Campers will need to furnish their own gloves, bats, batting gloves, cleats, helmets, water bottles and if necessary, catcher’s gear.
