The College of Staten Island women's softball program will be conducting its annual two-day clinic in mid-August, so now is the perfect time to sign up your rising softball star to participate.  Sponsored by CSI's perennial championship caliber squad that went to the 2011 NCAA Division III National Championship Tournament, Head Coach Dr. Stella Porto and her assistants, along with members of the team, will work with clinic participants one-on-one and position by position with field work conducted at the CSI Softball Complex located in CSI's gated 204-acre campus.

Clinic days will be Thursday and Friday, August 16-17, weather permitting.  Clinic times are from 9:00am to 1:00pm and will feature instruction on pitching, offense, and defense, to include work on everything from general mechanics and weight training, to complex finger positioning for advanced pitch techniques and stance and footwork tactics in the batter's box.

Cost of the Clinic is $50 per participant.  CSI assistant coaches Charlie Mattera and Melissa Quiles will also marquee the instruction, joined by the CSI team that will be on hand to meet, greet, and assist participants.
