“There isn’t a softball exposure event like this anywhere,” says Co-Camp Director Nate Eaton: “It’s one event for one day at one venue with over 80 college clinics and the camper—you, the athlete—gets to choose where you go. We will accept high school athletes as well as college transfers that have registered on the portal.”

The entry fee is $300 with a deposit of $99 due initially. Additional individual clinics are then $60 per clinic with a minimum of one to a maximum of six.

Pitchers have a special two hour session from 3:30 – 5:30 pm that will be $100. The first clinic on June 12 begins at 7 am and the last one ends at 7 pm prior to a concluding game that will begin at 7:30 pm and finish by 9:30 pm.

“This is the perfect opportunity for the camper to choose up to six college softball programs to work with in one day,” adds Coach Eaton. “Come grow and learn with us in this national event!”

“Many college-bound athletes have benefitted from Diamond Direction events for years, where softball athletes can get exposure to various colleges in one day. This brand-new event is something softball has never seen.”

“We want to create a great experience for athletes to see some of the best programs from across the nation. With affordable airfare and lodging, an incredible complex of 13 beautiful fields, so many talented college softball programs in attendance and over 80 clinics in one day, we are sure that you will leave this event so glad you came. A perfect way for you to be seen before summer evaluations and recruiting begins!”
