Garnet Valley High School to host softball clinic

The Garnet Valley High School Softball Program will host two clinics for players ages 7 to 13, Saturday, March 12. Session 1 will be from 8 a.m. to noon with session 2 running from 1 - 5 p.m., both in the Garnet Valley High School gymnasium. Cost for each session is $25 (by March 7) and includes a T-shirt. Walk-up registration is $30. This is an all-skills clinic, including pitching, catching, infield, outfield and hitting.

At this clinic you will receive instruction from coaches who have competed and coached at the highest level of softball with more than 150 years of experience. This includes men’s fast pitch, Divisions 1, 2 and 3 of the collegiate level, as well as ASA, NSA and Ponies traveling teams. The Garnet Valley Softball Program, under the guidance of head coach Michael DiLuzio and assistant coach Michael Salladino, has compiled a record of 123-19 in six years and captured two consecutive Central League titles.

Joining DiLuzio and Salladino at the clinic will be Bob Wallauer, who has been involved with softball for over 50 years as a men’s fast-pitch player and a Division 1 softball coach, and Joe Coppens, a local softball legend and member of the Delaware County Athletes Hall of Fame.

Participants should bring gloves and sneakers. The GV team will provide all other necessary equipment.

Water will be provided and food and drink will be available for purchase. Proceeds from the clinic go toward the Garnet Valley Softball Program. For a registration form, e-mail PEDOGICO@comcast.net.
