DULUTH, Minn. – The College of St. Scholastica and University of Minnesota-Duluth softball programs are working together to put on the Second Annual Fall Camp on September 12, 2010.

Players in grades 5-12 are invited to attend the all day camp featuring instruction from the coaching staffs at both St. Scholastica and Minnesota-Duluth and the current players.

The camp is unique in that campers will spend half the day on each campus learning softball skills from both schools. St. Scholastica will focus on individual fundamental skills, while Minnesota-Duluth will focus on team concepts and situational skills.
