The seminar saw 50-student athletes and parents gaining valuable information of college sports life.

Guam Softball Academy is thrilled to host this seminar in collaboration with Guam Behavioral Health & Wellness Center. Jessica and Tisha two experts in the field of college bound and athletic performance and empowerment;” said Bill Bennett Guam Softball Academy Saturday and Sunday saw college style on-field training lead by Jessica and Trisha guiding 53-high school and middle school softball athletes through two-days of very intense and fun softball activities.

Each day saw new ways to train and learn fast pitch softball with fun team competition drills and stunts. Defensive skills, throw & catch, hitting, bunting, infield & outfield dailies, and game play. Each set of skills included fun team competitions and fun games to keep the girls motivated and engaged. Fun games included: blast ball, tic tac toe, minute to win it, target bunting, throwing relays, and front toss scrimmages. The most popular drill at the clinic was the Dive Drill – catch a softball before it hits the ground.

“The two-day clinic was a big hit receiving much positive feedback from the girls and parents. Lunch was provided each day and cold beverages all day long. Having 10-adult coach/instructor volunteers on the field added to the success of the clinic.
