If you are in grades 10-12 and plan on playing college softball, one of the best ways to get your shot is by attending a camp or clinic hosted by the college or university you would like to attend.  On our main homepage, there are local colleges and universities with direct links to their camp clinic pages (most of them work).   Most take place during the months of September-December.  Of course, many of them give academic money, so keep up those grades.  Good luck on your search!
