Santa Monica Softball Academy’s goal is for all players to have a fun and safe experience while focusing on team play and individual skill development. Our camp will concentrate on throwing & catching drills and techniques, specialty position practice (pitching, catching, infield, and outfield), base-running, live hitting with speed and agility drills. Our goal for young players is to inspire confidence, while having fun in a positive environment while also learning to the play the game from professional coaches. Attitude, effort, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship will be stressed throughout the week, while players learn correct softball fundamentals. Our goal is for all participants to leave camp with a high level of understanding of proper technique in all areas of the game. By incorporating drills and competitions developed over a lifetime of playing and teaching the game, players will gain a firm foundation in the fundamentals that will give them the confidence to compete and feel good doing it! Players are typically grouped based on age and ability. Instruction will be given by professional softball coaches.
Players should bring their own gloves to camp, and wear a hat and sunscreen. Bats, softball pants and socks are encouraged, but not required. Players are responsible for packing their own lunch, snacks, and drinks. Please bring sunscreen and plenty of water for hydration throughout the day (refills are not available onsite).
