Well done!
"This was my daughter's first sleep a way camp experience and it was the best place for her to be, Debbie and her staff made her feel very comfortable. Well done!"
Thank you Nike Softball Camps
"Nike camp was a great experience for my girls. I signed them up in hopes that they would experience a positive atmosphere,gain confidence, and make life memories. They did all of this and more! Thank You."
I hope to go back every year.
"The camp was very well-planned out and had a good program. The times to wakeup eat and play were reasonable and the instructors knew exactly what they were doing and taught the campers in an easy-to-understand way. I hope to go back every year!"
Thanks For Another Great Experience!
"The director and her staff were very positive and seemed to make all the girls love to play. This is our second time doing the camp and I would do it again. Thanks for another great experience and great memories."
Taught My Daughter More Softball & Being A Young Lady
"I cannot put into words the experience my daughter gained from going to the camp. She not only learned skills in softball but how to be a better young lady. The morals and values the staff brought to the camp were extraordinary. We looked at sending her to another camp and decided on the NIKE Camp for convenience and I am so glad we did. She was going to be a day camper but when we got there she saw some friends and we were able to change her to be an overnight camper. I will highly recommend this camp to anyone who is interested in gaining skills and personal growth. We look forward to next year!!"
Overnight Camper
I benefited from attending the NIKE Softball Camp at CSU Monterey Bay.
"I believe that the hitting drills, the scrimmaging, the position work, and the chalk talks were all very beneficial to the camp. The hitting drills helped me hone my hitting skills and pay more attention to my accuracy and power. The scrimmaging helped me get a feel for the game and understand the rules of the field and how to act in the heat of battle. The position work gave me a little taste of everything and sparked my interest in other positions. Lastly I felt chalk talks were extremely beneficial because it gave me a chance to ask questions and get a clearer picture of the overall technicques of the game. I had an amazingly great experience at camp and got to spend beneficial one-on-one time with the coaches who are very skilled at softball and extremely inspirational."
