How do I register?
If your player is interested in learning pitching, we strongly recommend taking a pitching clinic over the winter to correctly learn the fundamental mechanics. Softball pitching is complicated and it is difficult to learn pitching solely by trying it in team practices or games. SGSL recognizes how much work the pitching and catching positions require to play effectively and subsidizes a portion of the pitching and catching clinic fee to help support our awesome players learning these positions!
