ABOUT US
Crimson Softball Clinics
Crimson Softball Clinics offer an opportunity for players to receive valuable instruction on the fundamental skills of softball. Players will be made aware of the characteristics that define successful softball players. General courtesy, respect for teammates and opponents and the importance of hard work will be taught to the players through example by the Crimson Coaches. Drill progressions will be aimed towards recognizing and developing good habits in all aspects of the game. Contests built into drills capture the learner’s attention, which results in attentive practice. Organized games between players will provide a competitive outlet after specific drills have been practiced.
Our Crimson Softball Clinics range in ages and we should have a program to fit your needs. If you do not see a date that works for you at this time please check back to the site as we add new sessions often. These clinics are open to any and all entrants.
Crimson Softball Camps are conducted at various locations throughout the United States including Harvard University. The camp is not owned or operated by Harvard University.
