Winter Catching Clinics

Our Softball Catching Clinic is designed to help players develop and strengthen the skills needed to succeed behind the plate. This single-session clinic focuses on core catching fundamentals, including stance and positioning, receiving, blocking, throwing mechanics, footwork, and overall defensive awareness. Instruction is structured to provide focused repetitions, clear demonstrations, and positive feedback in a supportive learning environment.

The clinic is led by Tracy Scheunemann, an experienced catching coach with five years of coaching experience. Tracy played shortstop before transitioning to catcher in high school and brings a strong understanding of both infield and catching responsibilities. Her favorite part of coaching is building relationships with players and helping them understand the importance of the catcher position while developing confidence behind the plate.

This clinic is appropriate for both newer catchers building a foundation and experienced players looking to refine their skills.

Players should bring full catcher’s gear, a catcher’s glove, water, and indoor athletic shoes. Athletes needing to request borrowed equipment must indicate this during registration. Limited equipment is available.

Any athlete within the listed age groups, regardless of experience level. Beginners are welcome.

Do players need to bring their own equipment?

Yes. Players should bring full catcher’s gear, a glove, water bottle, and indoor shoes.

If an athlete needs to request to borrow catcher’s equipment, this must be indicated during registration. Limited equipment is available.

How are groups divided?

Players are grouped by age and skill level to ensure a positive and productive learning environment.

Can my athlete attend multiple clinics?

Absolutely. Many players participate in multiple skill-specific clinics to maximize their development. To allow as many athletes as possible to attend, we ask that each player limit the number of sessions to three.
