Ashland Softball Offers Summer Camps
May 19, 2005

The Ashland University softball program will host several girls softball instructional camps this summer. All the sessions are under the direction of AU head coach Sheilah Gulas. She will be assisted by AU assistant coaches Julie Weir and Dave Leffew, plus members of the AU softball team.

The first camp is slated for June 14 and is a pitching and advanced camp. All sessions on this day will be held at Brookside West Fields 3 and 4. This session is for players in grades 10-12. From 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., a pitching camp will be held. From 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the staff will work with advanced campers and pitchers. The 2:30-3 p.m., segment will be devoted to a question-and-answer session. At 3:30 p.m., a tour of Ashland University will be provided.

Players should bring a glove, shoes, bat and lunch. Cost is $65 for advanced campers, $75 for pitchers and advanced camp and $35 for the pitching session. Catchers attending the pitching session and advanced camp need only pay $65.

On June 15 and June 16, the Eagles will host a general instruction camp. Once again, these sessions will take place at Brookside West Fields 3 and 4. The cost is $50 per camper. The June 15 camp is for players in grades 6-9. Players in grades 2-5 should plan on attending the June 16 session. On both days the camp will run from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Campers should bring their own lunch at this camp. These camps feature instruction on all the basic softball fundamentals. Campers will be grouped by age and ability. Games and competitions will be played in the afternoon.
