LA MIRADA, Calif. --- With its new coaching staff in place and loaded with NCAA Division I and international experience, Biola Softball announces its 2018-19 camp and clinic offerings.

The highlight of the camp schedule is a pair of prospect camps, one on Saturday Oct. 27, 2018 and another on Saturday Jan. 26, 2019.

Directed by Head Coach Nikki Udria and assistant coaches Mandy Pongs and Justine Mclean, the 2018 Biola Softball Camps will be a great opportunity to learn what it takes to compete at the collegiate level and gain insight about student life at Biola University.

Campers will not only gain instruction to improve their skill level, but also gain knowledge of the game in addition to showcasing their skills in their primary and secondary positions.

Also included will be off the field instruction on mentality of the game, character and integrity and how to incorporate our faith into the game we love!

The prospect camps include instruction and evaluation, a college level workout, a free Biola Softball shirt, fundamental work on offense and defense, recruiting tips and information, a Q&A session, a campus tour and one-on-one conversations with the coaching staff and Biola's current student-athletes.

Both prospect camps are all-day events ranging from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost for each camp is $125. More information and registration can be found at https://www.totalcamps.com/BIOLASOFTBALL. 

For younger campers, Biola Softball offers a Youth Camp on Saturday, November 10. The camp runs from 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and includes all the same offerings as the prospect camps. The youth camp is for players of all ability levels between 7 and 14 years-old. See more at the camps website.

Also included in this year's camp offerings are weekday clinics run by each of the coaches. Nikki Udria (athlete bio) and Justine McLean (athlete bio) will lead one-hour clinics that are offense-focused, while pitching coach Mandy Pongs will lead one-hour pitching sessions and a handful of hitting sessions. Each session costs $60. Please see below for the full schedule of one-hour clinics.
