SUNDAY Softball Clinics: Pitching, Catching 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!

Pitchers Clinic Description:
If you are interested in becoming a fastpitch pitcher, or becoming a better one, then the EPFPA Pitching Clinics will help you achieve your goals. Girls will be organized by age division to allow for more focused instruction.
These sessions include professional instruction, which leads to proper mechanics, speed and accuracy. More advanced pitchers will learn the mechanics of various pitches when the instructor believes they are ready, ie- change, drop, rise and curve.

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!
Catchers Clinic Description:
If you are interested in learning to become a catcher, or becoming a better one, the EPFPA Catching Clinics will help get you there.
These sessions include instruction 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.
