Summer Softball Camps Are Fun
Well, at least the ones I've been to. I have no idea what summer softball camps at universities are like on the mainland US (I do hope to find out one day), but my daughters had a blast at the University of Hawaii camps these past two weeks.
Was it intensive training where they got all their mechanical problems corrected? No. I did hear the coaches giving them great advice though. I love having another source, a fun one at that, give them the same messages I'm also trying to get across when I work with them. Plus, all 3 of my girls who attended camp (ages 7, 8, and 11) all thoroughly enjoyed themselves which is the whole point of being involved with this sport in the first place. That and the fact that I know they all learned at least one new thing at camp makes the experience worth the time and money in my opinion. I just know my girls will be asking to go back next summer.
My oldest daughter even sent me an @reply on twitter to thank me for taking her to camp. Cool beans!

Hey Stacie,
Sorry that it took me SOOOOO long to reply to this blog. I had the chance to reply the day after you posted it, but didn't have the time to finish what I wanted to say so it "timed out" and I just closed it. Anyway, I just want to say how much fun Tia had at camp. She got at least a hand full of phone numbers from the other girls that was there. She was so excited after each day that she talked the whole way home about learning this or learning that. I myself was amazed and enjoyed the drills that they thought the girls. Being that I'm a new coach myself, I video taped the drills & stretches and used them for our team. I would like to thank you for posting the camp on your website. If it wasn't for you, Tia would have missed it again! We both can't wait for next year's camp.
