When looking for the best softball clinic to attend there are a couple of important things to consider. First would be the knowledge of the coaching staff. Then you would need to consider the experience of the coaching staff. Then ask yourself, How much one on one coaching am I going to get? Will I be seen by elite college coaches? and Will I be getting my moneys worth in such a camp? When considering knowledgeable clinicians, one must expect that the clinician has played or coached at the highest levels. These levels would include the PFX (Professional Fast pitch Extreme), the USA National team, and the top college programs. One would also expect the clinician to have good communication skills, a great attitude and a lot of information to provide. Clinicians should be able to humanize and personalize the road to success in softball. The clinician must also be able to access a players skill level and approach it in a way that every player in learning. Every camper would like to have one on one time with the coaches however for most reputable clinics that's not possible. A good clinic has many campers wanting to attend and would not be able to give such individual attention. When being realistic a ratio of 1 coach to every 10 campers is good, and a ratio 1 coach to every 5 campers is great. Playing in smaller groups also helps build skills in playing as a team. Besides getting top level information, a quality softball clinic should also allow the campers to showcase their abilities to college coaches of varying levels in a fun environment. This will allow campers of all skill levels to show off what they have learned, what they can provide to possible college teams, and quite possibly could gain rewards from their hard work such as recognition by top notch college coaches. A lot of people look at the entire facility of the softball camp to make sure it will be worth their money. Obviously, these types of places will include a camp that provides knowledge that can be learned at that specific time and also information the players can use then they get back to their team. The camp clinicians should be expected to teach participants in a positive manner and make it a fun environment so the campers feel like they can enjoy learning. The Clinicians should share their experiences with the players, such as what the softball life is like after high school. A quick rap up: Remember to find the best and most qualified coaching staff with the most experience, locate a camp with the smallest possible coaches to campers ratio, and make sure there will be time to share the coaching staff's stories of success.
