Mike Candrea and Southwest Camps 3nd Annual Elite Softball Camp

Mike Candrea and Southwest Camps are pleased to present the 3rd Annual Elite Summer Softball Camp held in beautiful Tucson Arizona June 17-21, 2012. This high intensity camp will offer you and other talented athletes the chance to prepare, practice and compete at a high level of competition. A maximum of 78 high school aged girls will be broken up into 6 teams of 13 players each and put through workouts and competitive situations similar to collegiate practices and games. Team defense, team offense, mental enhancement, conditioning and agility, weight room information, and specific position play will be discussed and worked on during this 5 day camp. Serious softball players will enjoy the opportunity to compete with and against others who aspire to play at the collegiate level. This camp will be intensive in nature and challenging to each and every player.

The Elite Camp will hold the following number of spots per position. The softball position breakdown is 18 pitchers, 6 catchers, 6 first basemen, 6 second basemen, 6 shortstops, 6 third basemen, 18 outfielders, and 12 utility players. Once a position is full, a staff member will call and ask for your second position choice. Because the camp is limited to 78 athletes, reserve your spot early.

The Elite camp will only be offered in the overnight setting with all residents being housed 2 to a room on the University of Arizona campus. All meals are provided in the cost of the camp. The cost for this camp will be $725 and includes camp t-shirts and emergency medical insurance.

Camp check in will be at from 5:45-6:45pm on June 17th and camp check out will be on Thursday June 21st between 10:30 and 11:45am. We will do an evening session on Sunday night and if you have any game conflicts, we will work with you and your teammates to accommodate your needs. Camp staff will act as chaperones during the overnight hours and will employ a 10:1 ratio during the night. Campers will follow a typical softball schedule that has us working out 3 times a day. A typical day will look something like this: Breakfast-8:30-9:15, morning workout-9:30-12:30, lunch 12:30-1:45, afternoon workout-2:00-4:30, dinner 4:30-6:00, evening workout 6:45-10:00. Dedicated softball players will love this schedule and the intensity of each day.

It is the goal of Mike Candrea and Southwest Softball Camps and Clinics to combine talented student-athletes that are graduating from High School in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 with other players from around the United States with a dedicated staff to ensure an excellent camp experience.
