Slap hitting is an alternative approach for hitters who are typically small and quick, and possibly not finding success at the plate when trying to hit hard so far in their career. Typically slap hitters are left-handed, or willing to switch to bat left-handed, and can outrun a bunt or short hit, making it to first base before the throw.

Wisconsin Heights Youth Softball is not forcing or even encouraging players to become slap hitters. We are simply offering an alternative approach to batting in softball that some players may find successful. Coaches may be in attendance to help learn this approach as well.

We're so glad to have Rick back again this year to provide 3 sessions of pitching instruction for our 3rd-6th grade players. This is his third year supporting our program by helping us provide a local, affordable option for pitchers who are just getting started or in their first few years of the position.

This clinic is for those who already specialize at the catching position on the field, or who have played the catching position and want to learn more. General skills needed to be a catcher at the U12 or U14 levels will be covered, including stance, blocking, and throwing down to second base to get a runner out when they are trying to steal a base.

This clinic will cover both sliding and basic base running. We will also cover tagging up for fly balls.

Note: Some of our younger players may not need to slide at their current level of play, but the sooner they learn this skill the easier it will be to master it for games.

This clinic will discuss throwing mechanics for long throws. We will also cover how to handle cutoffs during game scenarios as well as tagging runners correctly where there is a play at the base.
