Rise Ball Camps are driven by the passion to teach the game of softball within the game of life by the three program directors. Coach Bill Edwards of Hofstra, Coach Jay Nelson of Rutgers, and Coach Roy Kortmann of LIU each bring a wealth of expertise in building nationally competitive collegiate softball programs as well as quality student-athletes prepared to succeed in life. Rise Ball Camps is their vehicle to enhance the game of softball to young ladies looking to pursue their college dreams.
In each unique camp these three coaches combine their inspirational teaching skills with other specifically chosen college coaches to provide a once in a lifetime experience for softball players. Each camp provides intense instruction in small group settings where college coaches can place one on one attention with anyone in the group. Learning from some of the best softball coaches in the Northeast this unique camp environment has brought camp attendees from all over the country in to our Rise Ball Camps.
Rise Ball has three outstanding traditional camps. Our July Summer Showcase Camp is followed by our unique August High Honors Camp and the November Premier Northeast Camp culminates our traditional camp series.. All three camps feature position specific skill instruction, chunk your swing hitting sessions, pitcher improvement training, catcher development drill area and competitive team games where the non-stop teaching continues. The camps are a energetic learning experience for the player. From NFCA Hall of Famer Coach Edwards session on throwing, catching, and receiving with footwork all the way until the last out in our competitive games, campers will be continuously engaged with softball.
Each of our Traditional Camps series will also feature an opening night pro style workout where coaches are immediately engaged with the campers. It is here where players can run their skills through infield, outfield and live batting practice while also learning running techniques to increase their speed.This is a fun and very special way to open up our camp. Rise Ball Camps is the original and only softball camp with this unique opportunity for campers.
Our August High Honors Camp upholds the Rise Ball tradition of being one of a kind as it is the most academically unique softball camp in the country. The camp staff consists of coaches from some of the most prestigious university's in the nation. Players will have the special opportunity to learn from, interact with, and play under the coaching from top softball clinicians of these institutions. In addition, players will hear what it takes to successfully balance academics and athletics at a unique college level. This camp must be on your summer calender if you wish to pursue a softball and academic career at this level.
The November Premier Northeast Camp is the final piece to our outstanding traditional camp season. This indoor camp provides campers with another opportunity after the summer to learn from some of the best coaches in the northeast in a climate controlled environment. As with all of our camps, this camp will draw players from across the country. The camp opens on Friday evening and is followed by all day sessions on Saturday and Sunday in a bubble whose size has to be seen in order to be believed. The enormity of the facility allows us to follow the format of our earlier camps and also once again divide into camp teams to play competitive games which are coached by the college coaches.
All of our camps will provide superior instruction and start to finish teaching. Bring a Notebook. We guarantee that will find that Rise Ball Camps are superior to any camp, clinic, showcase, exposure or tournament that you have ever attended.
