Naturally, we recognize that the two most important positions on any softball team are the pitchers and catchers; so we are providing offseason instruction for EP Fastpitch girls playing these positions. We believe that fastpitch pitchers and catchers are made in the offseason! 

If you are interested in becoming a EP fastpitch pitcher or catcher, or becoming a better one, then the EPFPA Clinics will help you achieve your goals. EP pitchers and catchers will be organized by age division, to allow for more focused instruction. All pitchers must provide someone to catch their pitches. Parent Tip: bring a 5-gallon bucket to sit on; your back and your knees will thank you!

Cost: FREE !!

Location: EPHS Activity Center 

Sunday Clinic Dates:

* (11/11 times are 6:00-8:00)

We love seeing this! Keep up the great work girls!!

Eden Prairie has 25 players in our 8U fastpitch softball program, and 17 girls showed up for pitching practice. While they themselves won't pitch in 8U, it is never too early to start learning the fundamentals so they can be adept at it when they reach 10U. It's so important to us to get young girls interested in pitching. Thanks Coach Chad, for organizing this and taking a photo of it. Thank you for being such a strong influence on the younger girls and what we are trying to achieve as they progress through the program!
