CAMPS and

Higher Ground is your source for custom clinics and
camps where true learning and improvement occur. Our instructors are among the
best in the world and, in recent years, we have provided instruction, coached,
or used instructors from six continents - Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. We provide exciting customized clinics for
teams, leagues, associations, or the coaches, players, and parents of a
geographic area.
Higher Ground has been involved

Azores, Canada,
China, Cuba, Czech

In 2000-2001, Higher Ground was
also been selected by the ISF to assist the Greek Softball Federation in
developing a host team for the 2004 Olympics. In addition, Higher Ground CEO
Bobby Simpson has served as the Head Coach for the British National Team, as
well as an assistant coach for the Dutch National Team and Greek National Team.
Our summer camps are structured
so that the player that really wants to improve her skills is provided the
opportunity to do so. Our 1996 Albany, Georgia, camp attracted 254 girls
from15 states and Canada,
with instructors from the USA,
Canada, Australia, and Holland. The group of 300 was treated to
attendance of the Olympic softball games in Columbus
and saw the USA, Japan, Australia,
and Puerto Rico teams. Each year, we provide
camps and clinics for all levels of skills, specializing in developing even the
most elite players with our advanced and elite SUPER & SELECT Camp, SUPER Clinic, and our USA Elite Hitting Institutes.

YOUR SOFTBALL CLINICS
Customized For YOU!!
Our
program will be customized for you!! It will not be a
packaged program, but rather planned jointly with you so that we cover what you
feel is most needed for people in your program. It can be set up for players,
coaches, or both. It can be set for overall skill development or it can be a
specialty clinic that focuses on just a few topics or even a single topic such
as hitting or pitching.
Some
popular schedules include one day, or evening, for coaches and another full day
or more for players. Often, the coaches and/or parents attend the player
sessions so that they can assist with drills and later reinforce what we
covered with the players. We will work within your desires and set the schedule
to meet your needs and your budget.
You
may also want to consider hands-on sessions for coaches or a combination clinic
with some indoors lecture-demo and some outdoors or gymnasium hands-on
sessions. That often leads to greater understanding and increased ability to
implement the skills and drills.
Contact
us now and we will be glad to provide additional materials related to fees,
schedules, and our products and services. We are very flexible, very creative,
and we will work with you to find a way to meet the needs of your program.
Please allow us to be your source for instructional services and products that
are specifically designed for Helping YOU Get Better Every Day.
THANK YOU For Your Commitment To The Youth
And Your Concern For Improvement
