Our Story

We created The Next Level Softball Clinic (NLSC) in 2008 in order to give quality instruction to young players. As students of the game for the majority of our lives, we know what it takes for you to take it to the next level. After working our way up through town leagues, tournament ball, high school softball and college softball, we felt it was time to pass on our knowledge and enthusiasm of the game. Focus areas of our clinic include proper techniques of throwing, fielding, hitting, bunting, pitching, catching, base running and more.
