Morningside Softball Hosts Youth Camp Every Sunday For Eight Weeks

In efforts to raise money to help costs of travel expenses, team gear, and other expenses throughout the year, the Morningside softball team hosts a youth camp every Sunday.

The camp begins at 12pm and consists of all ages. Participants can sign up with their team or individually. If they sign up as an individual camper, they are placed on a team with others that are the same age. After they are placed on a team, the Mustang softball team teaches them new skills for an hour, then they scrimmage.

The Morningside softball team enjoys making connections with the athletes. Junior outfielder, Hallie Kokenge stated “Organizing this camp is a great opportunity to teach the younger generation the game that I love.” 

Coach J, head softball coach at Morningside University, also added, “It is great to see the turnout that we have every week, and it is a great chance for our girls to make connections with those who look up to them.” 

The cost of the camp is $45 per athlete, and they are provided with a free t-shirt.

 If interested in signing up, contact Coach J (555) 555-5555 or cj@morningside.edu.
