Notre Dame Softball Camp 2008

Last year, the Tinley Park Rockers sent 18 players to the Notre Dame softball camp. This camp is instructed by the Notre Dame softball coaching staff and players. This camp starts on Sunday, July 13 and runs through July 17. This is a boarding camp. The girls wake up, have breakfasts, play softball, have lunch, play softball, have dinner, play softball. IN OTHER WORDS - THEY PLAY SOFTBALL! There is no better way to get our players ready for the upcoming world series.

I also want everyone to know that the girls all gave me positive feedback about the camp from last year. The younger girl's really liked it. They begged me to go back!

Check in on Sunday, July 13th is from 3-4pm.

See me if you need more info.
