    ATTENTION PARENTS OF CATCHERS (AKA "BACKSTOPS")

    Catfish Junction Jr.-Sr. High School is hosting a weekend clinic for softball catchers with intense instruction on how to throw the ball back to the pitcher after catching a pitch. THis lost art is being revived at Catfish Junction, home of the eight-time state Class 3D champion Catfish Junction Catfish. Clinic will focus on arm angle, hip turns, and follow through. Register early and receive bonus instruction on how to fake throws to second base in order to catch the runner off third.

    cost is only $75 for the two-day session. world renowned softball catcher Mindy Sessions will be on hand to give demonstratons, answer questions and sign autographs.

    Please let me know when the pre-registration is for the clinic on "How does having a boyfriend affect your Jr. High/High School catcher".

    Thanks.

    the girls at Catfish Junction don't have boyfriends. It's all softball all the time. that's why they're so successful. perhaps we could interest you in the "Digging in to the batter's box/How to call timeout just before the pitcher begins her motion" clinic. It's a week long and costs $425, but it's well worth it.

    Upon second thought, I think I'll save my money. My daughter has the nasty habit of running to third base after hitting the ball. I've tried everything from shock collars to public humiliation to break her, but to no avail. I'm gonna have to cut her.

    Have you tried either turning her around or putting her in the other batters box? Either one woud create a directional change and have her running to first If that dont work Contact CFball, He has worked with many directionaly challenged athletes and I beleive is holding a clinic on it sometime in March. :flaming:
