The Linfield University Softball Program is conducting three Advanced Skills Fastpitch Clinics for athletes ages 15-18 on July 10, August 11, and September 22. 

All clinic instruction is 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 16 Northwest Conference Championships, 18 trips to the NCAA Playoffs, 15 National Top 15 Finishes, and an overall record of 755-167-2. The Wildcats have also seen 34 players receive NFCA All-America recognition during that time while leading the entire nation in home runs on several occasions. The 2024 team finished the season ranked among the top 20 nationally in Slugging Percentage, Home Runs, Doubles, Scoring, Stolen Bases, and finished ranked #3 in the nation.

The clinics stress the mental approach, physical fundamentals, and advanced skills that are necessary to be successful at the highest levels of competition.  The clinic format simulates a common pre-season practice for the Wildcats and will include a classroom session on hitting.  The last portion of the day will be dedicated to a presentation by the Linfield Softball Coaches and Players on preparing for college, the college recruiting and selection process, and general college success skills. A question-and-answer period for the student-athletes follows.
