Co-Lin schedules softball camp
Published 6:53 pm Friday, June 9, 2017
The Copiah-Lincoln Lady Wolves will hold their annual softball camp on June 12-14. Camp times for players in grades K-6 are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for grades 7-12.
Campers will cover all aspects of the game of softball including fundamentals, mechanics, skills and drills for offense and defense including video analysis. Players from the beginner to the advanced levels will benefit from the instruction and applications provided.
Pre-paid camp fee is $80 and includes a camp T-shirt, limited medical insurance, and Gatorade. Players may register on Monday from 8-9 a.m. or noon to 1 p.m. at Lady Wolves Softball Field on the Wesson Campus; however, pre-registration is preferred for scheduling purposes. Walk-up registration will be $90 with family discounts available.
Participants should bring their cleats, glove, batting gloves (strongly recommended due to high number of swings taken), helmet, and bat (optional); catchers should bring their catching gear. In case of inclement weather, the camp will move to the two gyms on campus (bring tennis shoes).
Camp director is Lady Wolves Head Softball Coach Allen Kent, and he will be joined by his assistant coach Jackie Johnson. Kent is entering his 16th year at the helm of Co-Lin softball.
The Lady Wolves have a rich history, winning three MACJC State Championships during Kent’s tenure. The Lady Wolves won the 2006 and 2008 NJCAA Region 23 Championships. The 2008 team finished runners-up in the NJCAA National Championship and the 2006 team finished 3rd in the nation. The Lady Wolves have been consistently ranked in the NJCAA polls.
