There will be a two-day Skills Camp from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday and Wednesday and two camps Thursday. A pitching and catching clinic from 9 a.m. to noon and a slappers' clinic from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday. All camps are open to players from third grade to high school seniors.

The cost for the Skills Camp is $35, which includes a T-shirt. The pitching and catching clinic is $25 by itself of $15 if the participant is also enrolled in the Skills Camp. The slappers' clinic is $20 by itself or $10 when combined with the Skills Camp.

FSCC Head Softball Coach Lauren Sigwing along with returning FSCC softball players will provide individual instruction.
