Stay in Softball has been busy since our last update, so we wanted to provide and update and advertise our upcoming free clinic.

Since our last post a few weeks ago, we were able to sponsor three players to attend the clinics given by Oregon Head Coach, Mike White, held at Pinnacle Sports. Each player we sponsored was able to attend two clinics each (including hitting, pitching, infield and outfield clinics).

Last weekend was a special weekend for us as well as we were presented with donation checks from both Jeff Baker and Ricky Moorehead at the Fire in the Sky championship game. While Ricky presented his check, Jeff told the crowd about Stay in Softball and explained our purpose. Before the game, Ricky also interviewed board members Meghan McKeogh and Cait Kelm on the live broadcast. Both of these were great experiences and gave our organization a great deal of exposure. A big thank you to Jeff and Ricky for the donations, support and exposure! Another big thank you to Tournament Director, Joe Horn, who allowed the presentation to take place during the tournament's "main event". The tournament itself and the championship game was as great as everyone told us it would be.

We are also spreading the word about our next free clinic which will be held on July 20th from 6-9PM at the Candlelite Knolls facility in Warren (thanks to Valley Extreme and the Bazetta-Cortland Optimist Club). The clinic is open to all girls age 8-12 who would like to sharpen their fundamentals. We have a great slate of coaches and player assistants from Valley Extreme, the Ohio Wolfpack, the Ohio Lady Lasers, the Ohio Outlaws, Silver Creek Stars and Thunder Elite. We also have past and current D1 players and private instructors who are also coaching. The clinic will cover hitting, fielding, pitching and catching. We have four fields to work with and many player volunteers, so the girls will get a good amount of space and individual attention. Players do not need to have their own equipment to attend as we will have equipment for those who do not have their own. To register your daughter for the clinic, e mail your name and contact information to stayinsoftball@gmail.com If you would like a copy of the clinic flyer to pass along to any rec coaches/teams you know, please also e mail us so we can send it to you. Thank you, in advance, to all of the wonderful players and coaches who are volunteering their time to help with this clinic!

As always, we encourage you to follow our Facebook page www.Facebook.com/stayinsoftball and check out our website: www.stayinsoftball.com
Thanks to everyone who has supported us since we started this in February.

Below are a few pictures from the Mike White clinic and the Fire in the Sky.

Thanks Alanna for the plug and the help lining girls up too!
And you know the feeling is mutual.


We do still have some spaces in the clinic left. So, if you know anyone interested, please forward the info on to them.

Well, I was lucky enough to be asked to help instruct at this past Monday's clinic, and man am I happy I was able to do it. I met Megan for the 1st time(My team has not played hers in a few years) and what a wonderful young woman. This camp was chock-full of campers and a full house of parents as well and this young lady spoke up and composed herself as though she has been on the motivational circuit for years. I cannot begin to say how impressed I was with her, and her mother too (who I also met) and how this young girl has turned an idea into something so big in such a short amount of time. I'll send a shout-out to all who are helping Megan help others. Right about the time you have given up on mankind and what we are capable of, a young person shows you that there is light. And to the campers who were so eager to learn and participate....It was the most fun I've had on a softball field in sometime. Thanks again Megan for asking me to be a part of your clinic. I would gladly do it again and again and again. Best of luck!!!!!!

I could not get out of work to attend this one, but did attend an earlier session with a couple of our players. We will be attending numerous SIS events in the future. A ton of fun and it really gets back to the core of what its all about and why we should be doing what we do, for the love of the game!

Thank you Meg and keep up the good work!!

Matt, As a parent of one of the Player Instructors, I have to say. I watched some of the action over on your field, and your enthusiasm, and motivation was a pleasure to watch.

Matt, I was going to post a summary and pictures today - so I hope you don't mind pictures of you being posted ! I can't tell you how many compliments we have been getting from parents of the girls who attended! You guys were all awesome. I got a lot of video from your field as you were cracking me up! You were awesome with the girls! I have the straight line/Sponge Bob comment on video but as I didn't know it was coming I cut off the very end of the conversation. It was so cute! That, and "crazy legs" just really made me laugh. You had such a great way with the girls and you were able to get 8 years olds to not only listen to you, but learn what you were teaching and have fun doing it- it was quite impressive!

We can't thank you enough for coming out and we will definitely let you know when the next one is as we would love a repeat performance :)

And thanks for the kind words! You and the other volunteer coaches made it so easy for us - especially Meg as you were all so easy and wonderful to talk to and you just came and did what you do best. Any girl would be lucky to have you as a coach!
