Winter Pitching Clinics Instructor

Pitching clinics will start on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 with Nanci Lima-Caron debuting as our pitching instructor.  Girls whose birth years are from 2000 to 2013 (inclusive) and played in the Taunton Girls Softball League during any of the 2016 seasons are eligible to participate. 


Nanci worked in 2015 as an assistant softball coach at Rhode Island College. She assisted Head Coach Janice DiNobile with all phases of the Rhode Island College softball program and served as the primary pitching coach.


Nanci was a four-year letter winner as a pitcher at Div. I Temple where she was a four-year starter for the Owls.  She wrapped up her illustrious career for the Owls, ranking 10th with 68 career appearances.  She also earned Atlantic-10 Pitcher of the Week honors during her career.

Additional Pitching Clinic Information
  1. Parents / Guardians will be needed at the pitching clinic to catch for their child who is pitching.
     
  2. Please make sure that whatever your child brings to the clinic is marked with her full name so that it can be returned if it is left behind. (Our lost and found grows with every clinic.)
     
  3. Send your child to the bathroom before clinic so we can limit the number of children coming and going during the session. You can also send water or juice, as it gets warm in the gym.
     
  4. Dress your child in comfortable clothes, preferably in layers, not too loose and/or bulky. The child should be able to move freely. A good fitting T-shirt and a sweatshirt work perfectly. Sneakers are a must! We are on the school’s gym floor.
     
  5. PLEASE DO NOT drop your child off at the school without first making sure that a clinic is being held. You must walk your child into the school as a safety precaution. You are required to come in to get your child, as no child will be allowed to leave the building without a parent.
     
  6. When the winter months arrive, bad weather will also be close behind. If the weather is bad and school is cancelled or released early, we will not have clinic.  We will put a message on the league website Field Status page and Facebook page and will also notify folks via text message using RainedOut.com if clinics are cancelled.  Please go here for more information on receiving text messages from the league about cancellations.  No refunds will be given or makeups scheduled for clinic cancellations due to school weather related closings.
     
  7. Please note that there are no clinics during February School vacation. Certain school events may also affect this schedule. Notification of any changes will be posted at the registration table and on the league website and Facebook page as soon as they are known.
     
  8. The members of the Taunton Girls Softball League are the guests at the Friedman Middle School! Your cooperation in following school department rules will be expected. We will have access to the gym area only. NO ONE will be allowed in the main portion of the school and please be sure to supervise younger children if  it is necessary to bring them with you to the school.
