DeKalb Athletics provides girls softball teaching clinic to 32 participants

DEKALB COUNTY, GA–Softball players from across DeKalb County high schools recently had the opportunity to attend a girls softball clinic at Tucker’s Cofer Park to get instruction on the fundamentals of the game.

Coach Gary Anderson, a local DeKalb County youth softball coach, provided instruction to the 32 attendees in various aspects of the game of softball.

Players learned base running, pitching, fielding and batting techniques in the morning session.

Attendees at the clinic represented Clarkston Columbia, Druid Hills, Lithonia, Southwest DeKalb, Stone Mountain and Tucker High Schools. Coaches from Druid Hills, Lithonia, Southwest DeKalb and Tucker aided Anderson in working with the student athletes.
