Stop by the training center during the Rodeo weekend to test your skills. Cloverdale Minor Fastpitch Association is excited to announce that Team Canada’s Senior Women’s/National Team has booked our training facility located on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.
They are competing competing at the Women’s World Championships July 15 – 24.
In September 2013, CMFA converted the 7,400 square-foot coverall building into a year-round fastpitch training facility, complete with dirt infield, two batting cages and a bull pen.
The facility is also used by Lord Tweedsmuir‘s Softball Academy and Seaquam’s Softball Academy during the school year.
Off-season winter training includes the Cloverdale Fury Rep teams, as well as developmental clinics for CMFA’s 450 members and other individuals from the softball community looking to hone their skills.
Softball Canada’s Canpitch Program for Pitching and Clinics covers all five elements of fastpitch: running, hitting, fielding, throwing and catching.
Jim Ullock is a Canpitch Certified Instructor and trainer for the facility. Small group instruction and individual sessions are available.
Summer Softball Camps are scheduled during the World Championships in July, and also for August.
The training facility will be open to the public during the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair, May 20-23.
