    • What level coaches can benefit from this event?

    Our goal is to provide coaches with the tools, insights and education to become better coaches. We seek to provide a range of sessions that offer value to coaches of all levels - from youth coaches to high school coaches to college coaches. We select our presenters very carefully and develop a new clinic curriculum each year. We believe that coaches of all levels will benefit from attending the World Softball Coaches' Convention.

    Our clinic sessions are primarily lecture-style, with many presenters using audio-video technology and live demonstrators to help "illustrate" their sessions. We do offer special demonstration sessions in the ProBatter Hitting Tunnel. Most sessions feature a question & answer period. If you cannot get your question answered during a session, our presenters are very accessible throughout the event.
