Summer Pitching Clinics
Porter Ridge Softball will be partnering with Sloan Ducey and hosting some summer pitching clinics. Sloan Ducey is a current pitcher for the USCB Sandsharks, where she was just named First Team All Conference and All Tournament team selection in her freshman year. She is a product of the Porter Ridge area, having played for both Porter Ridge Athletic Association and Porter Ridge Middle and High School. Dates and Times are being finalized now so be on the look out. Space will be limited.
In the mean time, if you would like individual lessons with a current college pitcher, Sloan is providing private lessons as well. More information on Sloan Ducey can be found on here.

--REASONS TO JOIN PRAA--
Many more games for our girls (more games against a larger variety of teams)
End of Season Tournament (double elimination as opposed to a single elimination = even more games)
Closer fields (overall average of over 5 minutes closer with all fields combined)
All Star Tournament (tournaments that are local saving parents the travel and costs associated
eg. gas, hotels, lost time from work) Also Porter Ridge is able to field a team of PRAA girls only to
play other All Stars
Our 8U program pitches to girls rather than hitting off a pitching machine
(developing both pitchers and hitters giving them an early start at fundamentals they will
inevitably need in the future)
