We do softball, too!

JUNE 30 TO JULY 3, 2008
AGES 8-16

Ken Ulrich is not soley for baseball. This past summer, we added a week of softball camp which went very well, and we will continue to offer a week-long softball camp for summers to come. Our week of softball is open to all girls age 8-16.

A native of West Nyack, Tara Ulrich has joined her brother, Ken's staff, and will be running the softball session of camp. One of the most decorated student-athletes in the history of Hofstra University, Tara became the first player in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) history to earn four all-conference selections. Ulrich finished her career with the Pride in 2006, where she ranked in the career top 10 in several offensive categories including home runs (2nd with 29), hits (8th, 191), runs batted in (6th, 133), games played (6th, 219), at bats (6th, 658), and doubles (5th, 46).

Much like our baseball camp, our week of softball will run from 9:00 to 2:00, Monday thru Thursday. Tara Ulrich and her staff will teach all of the fundamental skills that will help each camper succeed on the field. It is important for youngsters to learn the proper techniques in all areas of the game, so that when each child finishes camp, she will have a greater understanding of how to practice and play the right way in order to improve their own personal ability.

Areas such as hitting, fielding, pitching, catching, and baserunning will all be emphasized with drill sessions in the morning, followed by games among other campers in the afternoon. In addition, each camper will learn a number of different drills, many of which can be used from little league level all the way up to the Big Leagues, in every aspect of the game that can be practiced in one's own backyard or at a nearby park.

The focus of the Ken Ulrich Softball Camp will be around teaching each individual the proper way to play the game, while also stressing the importance of having fun and enjoying everything that the great game of softball has to offer.
