Yazoo County head softball coach Grant Andrews will be hosting a fast pitch softball camp June 11 and 12 at the Wardell Leach Recreational Complex.
The goal for the camp is “to improve each player’s performance as an overall player, along with increasing self-confidence.”
Varying sessions of the camp will help participants improve hitting, fielding, base running, team play and more.
The registration fee is $50 and only cash will be accepted. In case of inclement weather, the registration fees will be refunded if the dates cannot be rescheduled.
Lunch will be provided daily. Participants need to bring softball gloves and either cleats or tennis shoes. The sessions will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The Yazoo City High dynamic duo of Sam Campbell and Darrius Wright was selected to the 5A All State team. Campbell was selected as the first team catcher while Wright was named a second team pitcher.
