*JAN 20 UPDATE - Due to health and safety concerns, the first session (Jan 20) of
Coach Bayer's Fastpitch Camp is canceled. 

Our very own EPHS Varsity Softball Assistant Coach Jim Bayer (and a number of EPHS softball players) will be on hand to teach girls basic fastpitch fundamentals that will help build their foundation of skills.  This is a camp for girls new to softball (rookies) AND for those wanting to get warmed up and ready for the upcoming season.  If your daughter was born between 2009 - 2014, they are welcome to attend. And we encourage your daughter to bring a friend! 

Coach Bayer will be taking girls through throwing progressions, various fielding drills - both infield and outfield, and potentially hitting drills, if time allows. This camp is an extension of what we are doing on Sunday nights so you will see new drills here than what we are already doing at those clinics.  

At this time, we can not allow any parent spectators in the dome due to current COVID restrictions.  Girls will need to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth for the entire duration that they are inside the dome.  Breaks will be given for the girls to drink water.  

Basic Equipment Needed for Camp: 

• Fielding mask & glove
• Batting helmet & bat
  • Please email us (link below) if you need any of the above; we have supplies!
• Tennis shoes or turf shoes (no cleats allowed)
• Dress in layers.  Dome temp is around 50 degrees - the colder it is outside, the chillier it will be in the dome. 
• Water bottle 
• Hand sanitizer is on site to use during and after the camp

If you have any additional questions, please contact our Softball Directors ( ) and she will get back to you as soon as possible!

What a GREAT way to start 2022. Hitting instruction

Offseason Softball Clinics: Pitching, Catching, Defense and Hitting

Naturally, EP Fastpitch recognizes that the two most important positions on any fastpitch softball team are the pitchers and catchers; so we are providing offseason instruction for EP Fastpitch girls playing these positions. We believe that fastpitch pitchers and catchers are made in the offseason! 

LOCATION: Eden Prairie High School Activity Center
COST: FREE!

8U = players with birthdays in 2013 and 2014
10U = players with birthdays in 2011 and 2012
12U = players with birthdays in 2009 and 2010

PITCHERS CLINIC

DESCRIPTION: If you are interested in becoming a fastpitch pitcher, or becoming a better one, then the EPFA Pitching Clinics will help you achieve your goals. Girls will be organized by age division to allow for more focused instruction. These sessions include instruction by former collegiate pitchers, which lead to proper mechanics, speed and accuracy. 

All pitchers must provide someone to catch their pitches.
Parent tip: bring a 5-gallon bucket to sit on; your back and knees will thank you!

THU pitching notation- based on assessed skill and/or quantity of attendees during a session, the pitching clinician may ask a 10U pitcher to attend a different session/hour.

• New or developing 10U pitchers (new to pitching or have pitched minimally during games over the past seasons) - attend from 6:00-7:00.
• Advanced 10U pitchers (pitchers that have pitched during summer/fall tournaments and that have been practicing outside of our EPFA clinics) -attend 7:00-8:00.

DESCRIPTION: If you are interested in learning to become a catcher, or becoming a better one, the EPFA Catching Clinics will help get you there. These sessions include instruction from former collegiate catchers on the key fundamentals of receiving, blocking, throwing and will also focus on conditioning drills specifically designed for the catcher. If you are a catcher but have never received any formal training, this clinic is a must. If you are a seasoned catcher, this will reinforce the fundamentals and take your catching skills to next level.
