REGISTRATION OPEN FOR
SOFTBALL ID CLINIC
The three-time Big South Champion Longwood University softball team will host an August ID Clinic on Aug. 20 at Lancer Field.
The clinic, open to athletes entering grades 8-12, is designed for serious, committed softball players who wish to enhance their skills for the next level. There are only 40 spots available, and the registration fee is $125.
During the camp, which will run 9 a.m.-5 p.m., athletes will go through the training, drills and challenges college athletes participate in. The training sessions will consist of defensive and offensive sessions along with a scrimmage.
The clinic will provide experience for campers and the opportunity to learn from college athletes, including current members of the Longwood softball team. In addition, campers will have the opportunity to gain one-on-one instruction from 2015 and 2016 Big South Coach of the Year Kathy Riley.
With more than 600 victories in her career at Longwood, Riley has thrust the Lancers onto the national stage with three NCAA Regional appearances in 2013, 2015 and 2016 and winning the Big South Championship in all three of those seasons. Longwood has never posted a record below the .500 mark under Riley and has reached 20 wins 18 times, 30 wins 11 times and 40 wins three times, including last year’s 40-20 record that advanced to the program’s first NCAA Regional Championship game.
