The 3rd annual Ship Softball Summer Clinic ran July 5th-7th (8:30-11:30 each day). The first day was on the softball field, but the other two days were in the gyms due to weather. There were 46 students from ages 7-13.

Kudos to Coach Peters, his assistant coaches, and HS players who operated the clinic.
