Our expectation is that by having coaches participate in clinics prior to the start of a season, they will be better able to coach/guide our girls using basic fundamentals and proven coaching strategies. By the end of the season, we will be able to gauge the success of the clinics by the progress of our girls. Qualified coaches and umpires will set the standard by which our girls learn and thrive and we expect to see their growth at the end of the season. To have the girls return year after year. We have many girls that have outgrown our program that come back to volunteer and work with younger girls just starting out. We have been here since 1976, many of our participants are the children of others who have grown up at our fields. Families throughout Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties look to our field as a home away from home and we could not be more proud of the impact OUR field has had on these girls. Many of our girls receive scholarships to play softball in college and one of our players has just signed a professional softball contract. Colleges and Universities such as Colgate, Auburn, FIU, Keiser, and USF have extended scholarships to our girls based on their success both athletically and academically.we have another player that has completed college, is now a mom, is coaching softball at a local high school and volunteer coaches with girls at Miss Sarasota.
