LOCAL COACH OFFERING FREE SOFTBALL PITCHING CLINICS

Windham resident and Bat Cave softball instructor Mark Tucker has put together a free pitching clinic for girls in eighth grade and below.

The dates for the clinics are every Sunday from November 18 to December 23, 2:00pm to 3:30pm in the High School auxiliary gym.

The first session on November 18 is for parents and coaches on windmill pitching. Bring your questions and your gloves and expect to get hands on training so you will better be able to help your kids.

The following week the parents and coaches can bring the kids and we will work together. This will be a great chance for all of us to develop more pitchers.

Mark has an impressive coaching resume. In addition to being a paid instructor for the Bat Cave, he served as an assistant at St Joseph's College for four years and Head Coach at SMCC for a year and half.

Mark's hope is that this will will develop into a hitting clinic as well once the pitching clinic gets going.

COMMENTS:

Great clinic! After two weeks both of my daughters, and myself, have learned about the mechanics and training of fast pitch softball, and more importantly the proper way to do it. This is a very informative and fun 90 minutes to spend each week and the three of us look forward to Sunday. I would like to thank Mark for offering his time to do this for the future stars of Windham Softball.

I just want to say thank you to Mark Tucker for volunteering his time to the girls and moms/dads for the Sunday Softball Clinics. The clinic last Sunday was very helpful to both myself and my daughter, Alana. I believe this is the first time a clinic like this for girls has been offered right in Windham. We are looking forward to learning more at the next clinics.
