Two softball camps for girls ages 8-18 will be offered this summer at Kansas City Kansas Community College.
A Hitting and Offensive Skills camp will be offered Monday through Wednesday, June 22-24, followed by a Defense and Pitching camp June 29-July 1. Both camps will be held from 9 a.m.-noon on the KCKCC softball field at 7250 State Ave.
“These camps are designed for girls 8 to 18 to develop or enhance their offensive, defensive and pitching skills,” said KCKCC coach Kacy Tillery.
“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 camp will be directed by Tillery, assistant coach Tiffany Jennings and current and former all-conference players at KCKCC.
The cost is $50 per camp with a discount offered for girls attending both camps. Campers will need to furnish their own gloves, bats, batting gloves, cleats, helmets, water bottles and if necessary, catcher’s gear.
Registration can be completed in person in the Athletic Department in the KCKCC Field House; on-line to [email protected] or [email protected]; by phone (913-288-7356); or by mail to the KCKCC Softball Office, 7250 State Ave., Kansas City, KS. 66112.
