HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata softball team will be hosting their pitching clinic throughout the winter months. The clinics offer a chance for pitchers to come inside the gym and throw with the Juniata pitchers and coaches during the offseason.
The sessions for grades 4-8 (beginners) will go over the basic mechanics of windmill pitching by breaking down the motion and working on each component separately. The instructors will introduce the proper way to grip the ball, wrist snap, arm circle and driving with the legs during the pitch.
The sessions for grades 9-12 (advanced) will help athletes enhance the basic mechanics to add more speed to their pre-existing pitches. They will also learn the proper mechanics of breaking pitches including the drop, curve, screwball, and rise. There will also be emphasis on location, movement, and the change up.
It is $35 a session or $175 for all six sessions. Sessions are limited to 10 players per session and pitchers must provide their own catcher, who cannot be a pitcher participating in the clinic.
