Sunday Skills Clinics
Milton Girls Softball is excited to announce we have partnered with Ace of Diamonds Softball Training to bring weekly skills training to our Sophomore, Junior, and Senior divisions throughout the spring season.
The high-energy training is focused on fundamental skills, proper mechanics, and player IQ in a positive environment. Sessions include level-appropriate training on throwing, fielding, hitting, sliding, and situational awareness led by the experienced team at Ace of Diamonds.
These optional sessions have been developed to offer players more training in addition to their regular practices and games.
Please Note: The May 17th Senior Session has been canceled due to scheduled makeup games. Seniors are encouraged to join the junior session!
Registration Details
All sessions will be held on Sunday evenings at Kelly Field, grouped by age with division-level skill training.
Please arrive 5-10 min early to sign in. Players should bring their softball equipment including fielding mask, helmet, sneakers/cleats, and a water bottle.
This is a free program for MGS players but space is limited and players MUST register through Crossbar to attend.
All players must sign a waiver prior to participation in the skills sessions:
