The MRYSC Softball Club is proud to introduce THE ACADEMY, a dedicated softball training program for players registered with the MRYSC Softball League. Instructors for the multiple sessions per week are current or former high school softball coaches and college players focused on the ongoing development of MRYSC players. THE ACADEMY coaching staff has over 100 hours of combing coaching and playing experience. THE ACADEMY will be taught through a partnership between MRYSC Softball Club and Best Athletics.
THE ACADEMY OFFERS:
4 hours of weekly instruction for 8 weeks (indoor and outdoor training)
- Fundamentals (throwing, catching, footwork, glove work, base running, etc.)
- Position Specific (Middle Infield, corners, outfield, pitchers, catchers)
- Hitting (tee work, front toss, pitching machine)
Dates will be mid January through early March. Field training will be on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5:30 - 7:30 at Hite Wolcott Park in Ridgeland. Hitting sessions will be indoors.
