I have many phone calls coming in for Fastpitch Camp Information and where to attend and why their daughter should attend. I Really get asked that, I know what you're possibly thinking. My answer is YES go to as many Camps possible that you can budget and schedule for the Summer if you are not playing Class A Travel Ball around the country this Summer. You have an opportunity to learn about fastpitch from local college team coaches and players, make friends and test your skills and abilities with other players. Be proud of your team, encourage others you don't know and have fun.

Summer Camps Checklist:
.
1. Get to camp a little early. Avoid being late. Take all your gear (keep it clean) and any extra gear incase something breaks or gets lost. Remember to pick-up your gear and put it in your bag before you leave. If you find gear, leave it alone or give it to a camp official.2. Band-aids and a small clean towel or wipes, Ace bandage, personal hygiene stuff.
3. Bottles of water and small juice cans or boxed juice, snacks prepared the night before. Put them in a small, soft-type nylon lunch bag cooler. Place inside a frozen gel freeze bag, not ice, it will melt and get things wet.
4. Cell phones, put on vibrate or turn off before you get to the field or site.
5. Plan on rain just in case, bring extra socks, sweats,shoes or flip flops when you are finished and enter your parent's car. (sweats look tacky at camp but some will wear anyway, dress appropriately).
6. RESPECT EVERYONE: Attitude is everything. Get plenty of rest the night before. Bring a great attitude and leave your personal problems at the house (sorry,don't mean to sound like a Dad). College coaches and players want to enjoy training everyone, hopefully that is the case with you too :)
7. Remember, a major part of camp is about learning new skills. Bring a notebook to record your daily events and keep track of them. Create pictures of proper body mechanics being taught, Write down your experience good and bad because its yours to review and question later with a coach or parent.If you are confused about anything at Camps, please Ask someone to help you, that is why you are there. Any question is a good question to a Camp Coach, they appreciate eye contact and verbal communication.
8. Finally, enjoy your Summer Camps and most importantly HAVE FUN!!

I look forward to hearing about your Fastpitch Camp stories and seeing your new skills!
