The Iowa softball team will host an annual Coaches Clinic on Jan. 30, 2010, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. inside the Bubble, located near the Recreation Building.

Iowa head coach Gayle Blevins, her staff, and strength and conditioning coach Gabby Quiggle will hold several sessions during the day. The event will feature two sessions from 9-10:45 a.m. with three breakout sessions afterward that will focus on different aspects of pitching, catching, and building a team.

Following a lunch break, there will be three more breakout sessions geared toward base running, leadership, and video analysis. A hitting session, followed by mental training and speed and agility sessions, will conclude the clinic.

Participants will also be able to observe the Iowa softball team in practice.

Registration costs before the clinic are $65 for coaches and $20 for students. Registered coaches will receive a clinic notebook, notes, and a lunch.

On-site registration is $70 for coaches and $25 for students.

Contact the Iowa softball office for additional information. A Coaches Clinic brochure is available on the softball page of Hawkeyesports.com.
