Importance of Softball Players to Be Coachable at Camp
Whether you’re a top high school softball player or a beginner trying to learn the ropes, there’s typically one reason why you join us for one of our Revolution Softball Camps…to get better! That can include both on- and off-the-field situations, but the beauty of a game like softball is that perfection is very, very hard to find. There’s always something that you can be working on to get better at. If you decide to join us this summer at our Connecticut Softball Camp, it’ll be very important to be open-minded to constructive criticism and what many of us in the industry refer to as “coachable”.

Beginner Drills For Softball Players to Improve Baserunning
Our Revolution Softball Camps each summer consistently beat the competition for a number of reasons. Our NCAA coaching staff is pulled from the country’s top coaches just so every camper that joins us gets the type of individualized attention that they simply wouldn’t get anywhere else. We know that it’s hard for softball players to truly feel like they’re improving when they’re doing a drill in the middle of a huge group. That’s why we pride ourselves on consistently having a low camper-to-coach ratio, like at our New Jersey Softball Camps. The programs our camp directors put together focus on sportsmanship, improvement, excellence, and fun. Don’t worry, though, we didn’t forget about the on-field skills everyone wants to get better at, too! When talking about that, there are five specific [Read More>]

Why Having Patience is a Key Virtue for Softball Players
Softball is a game of failure. It takes a mentally strong athlete to persevere through all that failure in order to have success and play at the highest level. Thanks to advancements of technology by way of social media, smartphones, and everything else available at our fingertips, we’ve all gotten used to the instant gratification that can be achieved for just about anything. When something goes wrong on the softball field or a player is trying to hone a new skill, it’s not uncommon for them to think – or even expect – that they’ll be able to master it in a short period of time. There are certain occasions where that may happen, but in many cases, it takes a ton of repetition to perform a new skill at [Read More>]
How to Choose the Right Summer Softball Camp
There are tons of summer softball camps out there to choose from on a yearly basis. Despite that, there’s a reason why tons of softball players head to one of our Connecticut softball camps and all of our other locations every single summer.

But what else sets us apart from the competition enough to convince you to join us for a week at one of our many locations across the country this summer? It’s because of what’s truly important to us, and it’s the following aspects of our [Read More>]
Here’s How Softball Players Can Get in the Zone
We hear stories about how athletes get into “the zone” all the time, and for many, achieving this level of optimal focus where nothing else matters is crucial to their success. For a game that involves as much failure as softball, being strong mentally and getting to that point is necessary. Just as much as the sport is physical, it’s also mental. One of our favorite sports movies, For The Love of The Game gives us an idea of exactly what it’s like. Check out the below scene: How cool was that? It was as if he was just playing pick-up baseball in his backyard once he blocked out all the noise. Softball players know how lonely it can get while standing in the pitcher’s circle – just imagine what [Read More>]
