The Leatherneck Softball Coaching Staff would like to personally invite you to attend our upcoming High School Winter Camp on January 17 & 18, 2015. Attached to this email is the clinic brochure as well as a parent release form (if that parent or guardian WILL NOT be at the clinic, they will fill this out). This year you will have an opportunity to experience coaching with Head Coach Holly Van Vlymen, Assistant Coaches Beth Golitko, Ashley Campbell, Monica Rondon, and our entire Leatherneck Softball Team. This will be a great opportunity to not only learn from some of the most elite athletes in the country, but to also show our coaching staff some crucial skills that it takes to compete at the Division I level. While you learn our base fundamentals that we use every day at our training sessions, we will have the opportunity to observe your determination, work ethic, enthusiasm as well as your ability to take instruction. We have been working hard to plan an awesome instructional camp for you and we know you will not only learn some new skills you can start using on and off the field today, but you will have a great time working with our girls as well. We look forward to meeting you and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on! --Coach AC Ashley Campbell Graduate Assistant Softball Coach Western Illinois University 202 Western Hall Office Phone: 309/ 298-1721 Fax: 309/ 298-1960 www.goleathernecks.com/softball2015SB_JanCamp.pdf (994.73 KB)

My dd went to this camp last year. IF I remember right, there was only one cage and the balls they used looked like garage sale rejects, I clearly remember the floor was so dirty that everyone slid around all over the place. The building (Brody Hall?) was scuzzy. DD will prob not play at the D1 level but she looked at me when we got in the car and said "no way" when I asked her what she thought.
This players kind of ran the camp. It was a bit disorganized.
I spoke to the head coach and enjoyed our conversation but the facilities were poor and the camp could have been planned better. ISU runs it's camps in an ancient but spotless building, the balls and equipment are first rate and there were six or eight cages. The players who helped looked crisp and sharp in their uniforms, each had a written copy of the camp plan in their pocket and it ran like a clock. Big contrast.
