Area youth invited to upcoming Grizzly Softball camps
WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Brie Brooks, Head Softball Coach at Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP), has announced two softball summer camp opportunities. These camps are designed for young softball players looking to improve their skills, compete, and learn from coaches with extensive collegiate playing and coaching experience across NCAA divisions and locations.
The Grizzly Softball Camps are intended to provide young athletes with high-level instruction, directly from the Grizzly coaching staff, in a positive and competitive environment while helping players develop the skills needed to succeed on the field. All camps are open to all entrants regardless of skill level and are limited only by number, age, grade level, and/or gender.
“We are excited to welcome young athletes and prospective student-athletes to campus this summer and provide them with an opportunity to gain experience, compete, and grow their love for the game,” Brooks said. “Our goal is to create a camp experience that challenges players, builds confidence, and gives them valuable instruction from coaches who have competed and coached at multiple levels of collegiate softball.”
