It’s possible! Most of our instructional areas are outdoors and subject to weather. As such, the times may be altered at the coach’s discretion to facilitate instruction. Any time changes are made, an e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered when registering.

We have never had to cancel a camp before, however, in the event that we need to cancel a camp, we will refund all tuition minus the online registration fee. If we need to cancel part of a camp (due to excessive weather or any other unforeseen circumstance) we will refund a percentage of the tuition based on the percentage of instruction that was cancelled. We will not issue a refund if 50%, or more, of the instruction has been completed.

Please bring tennis shoes, as cleats are not allowed in any of the indoor areas. If you are signed up for a catching option, you should bring your catching gear. A snack to be consumed during the break. Water and Gatorade will be provided at each station.

Pitchers DO NOT need to bring someone to catch for them at any of our camps or their bats and batting helmets.

As you can imagine, we are going to have to follow COVID protocols set by both the university and the local health department. Currently, these are still being developed or refined. As these become more clear, we will email you updates. Regardless, we will put camper safety above all other considerations. Unfortunately, because of this, parents will not be permitted to stay and watch as in years past. All campers will need to be dropped off and picked up at the start and end of camps

Yes, a camp store will be available before, during and following the camp. Campers will be able to purchase a variety of UT softball clothing and merchandise. The store will accept cash, Visa or MasterCard.
