The Linfield University softball program is conducting two instructional All-Skills Fastpitch clinics for girls ages 8-18 on January 15 and February 4. All of the clinic instruction will be provided by the coaches and players of the Linfield University Wildcats, one of the most consistently successful softball programs in the country.

Since 2004, the Linfield University softball program has compiled 15 Northwest Conference Championships, 17 trips to the NCAA Playoffs, 14 National Top-15 Finishes and an overall record of 705-163-2. The Wildcats have also seen 34 players receive NFCA All-American recognition during that time while leading the entire nation in home runs on several occasions. The 2022 team finished the season ranked in the top 20 nationally in slugging percentage, home runs, doubles, scoring and stolen bases.

Each clinic will stress the skills and fundamentals that are necessary to be successful at any level of competition. The skills covered will include hitting, bunting, baserunning, and fundamental defensive play for infield and outfield. There will also be time for pitchers and catchers to learn from the Wildcat coaches and pitching staff. For girls ages 13-18, both clinics will also feature a post-clinic talk about developing success skills on and off the softball field and a question and answer session where clinic attendees can ask Linfield coaches and players questions about college and the softball recruiting process.
