ELITE SPORTS SOFTBALL CAMP Philosophy Elite Sports Softball Camp is designed for players who are interested in improving their softball skills. The philosophy of our camp is to encourage and teach our campers a better understanding of game fundamentals and improve each camper’s individual skill level. We aim to provide an overview of all aspects of the game of softball, including offense, defense, throwing, fielding, base running, pitching, and catching through a combination of lectures, drills, instructional stations, and game situations. We teach fundamentals in a fun, yet disciplined and challenging atmosphere. Each and every camper will leave Elite Sports Softball Camp with improved skills and a greater love and understanding for the game of softball long after they leave camp. Get ready to have fun and see yourself improve.
