Glove Work Spring Softball Clinics

Spring softball clinics are finally here! The top softball coaches in the Bay Area are coming together for a defensive clinic series centrally hosted at Notre Dame Belmont High School. More information is listed below, we’re excited to do what we do best - TEACH the future of softball 🥎💪🏽

Join current coaches and former collegiate/professional softball stars, Shelly Alifano and Alex Booker in weekly youth softball clinics. Boost your softball skills during clinics led by some of the best in the game. Enrollment is currently open for young ladies ages 9-18 years old. This spring, we’re offering 3 different groups with each time frame suggested for athletes that fit certain capabilities (often determined by age).

Age group suggestions:

12:30pm-2:00pm High School & 14u Age Group Participants (Advanced Group - have played for 3+ years)
2:00pm-3:30pm 12u Age Group Participants (Intermediate Group - have played for 1-3 years)
3:30pm-5:00pm 10u Age Group Participants (Beginner Group - have played for 1 year or less)

Again, for the safety of all young ladies involved, these are suggested age groups. If you feel that your daughter fits into a different time slot, we will certainly be happy to accommodate and host your daughter to assure for her success.

Each clinic will be held on Saturdays at Notre Dame High School with the above respective time slots. We will focus on defensive fundamentals in the month of April and offensive fundamentals in the month of May. In addition to different skill work, we also always incorporate teamwork, communication, and overall game strategy to each of our clinics including speed, agility, and base running skills. Each coach is available for individual and group private lessons as well if you’re in need of additional instruction.

With current Notre Dame Belmont HS and Cal Nuggets softball organization players assisting during clinics, this is a great opportunity to see what it takes to become a high school or elite travel softball player and eventually, make it to the next level!

Register today to hold your place - space is limited to the first 50 participants per age group.

FAQ:

We will run clinics rain or shine, sleet or snow. If there is inclement weather - meaning rain or it’s too cold out to run clinics, we have a wonderful indoor facility right down the street from Notre Dame High School that is available to use. It is in everyone’s best interest for us to be able to train outdoors with the amount of space and equipment that we typically need but if we do make a change in location, you will be communicated with at least an hour before the clinic begins (the facility is merely 5 minutes away from the field 🥳).
Don’t look too far into each time slot - These time slots are simply suggested age groups. The later two slots are typically going to be about the same in skill level but we write the suggestions in so that we have a clear divide in high school and non-high school age groups. Use your best judgement regarding your daughter’s skill level. We will assure that safety is our first priority and make sure that we accommodate each participant according to their personal abilities.
If worst comes to worst, feel free to select the time slot that works best for your personal schedule 🤗
I’m currently toying with the idea of offering a group strictly for our newbies! If there is enough interest, I’d be happy to hold a session that starts at 5:00pm each Saturday for our newest members of the softball community! Please reach out to the @softballvault on instagram and I wold be happy to see how I can accommodate your daughter! 😊
YES! I’d love to come out to you and offer skills clinics, coaches clinics, and other development work. Please reach out to discuss your team’s (or organization’s) specific needs.
I love this game to my core — I am offering these clinics as a way to serve a LOT of student athletes in one centralized place. This is also a great way for you to test out the waters with me. My coaching style isn’t for everyone 😉 Please reach out over instagram at the @softballvault for more information! 🥎
While we rarely cancel clinics, the only time that clinics will be cancelled is if there are not enough participants for a single session (we pay for field rental and it needs to make sense for us to front the cost of the field).
If a clinic is cancelled then you will receive a full refund within 5-7 business days per my payment processor. Email will be sent out the morning of the clinic more than likely to see if we can still run the clinic and get a last couple of folks registered before start time.
Please fill out the registration page here. Once the redirect pops up, go ahead and close out and plan to let me know that you’d like to pay in cash when you arrive at the clinic session.
Registering for the event is imperative to knowing how many folks we will have so we can account for attendance. If we don’t have enough attendees, we will be cancelling the event (per the FAQ above).
Please assure that yo register and fill in the date that you’d like to attend so we can forecast our staffing needs and facility needs. Thank you!
