Illinois Valley Community College’s softball team will host the 26th annual IVCC Eagles Softball Clinic Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 15 and 16, in the IVCC gym.

Coaches and current players will offer softball instruction in hitting, bunting, fielding, throwing, base running and communication.

There are two sessions each day. On Saturday, participants in second through fourth grades meet from 8 to 10:30 a.m. and fifth through eighth grades meet at 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On Sunday, second through fourth grades meet from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and fifth through eighth grades meet from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Cost is $40 per player and includes five hours of instruction and a T-shirt. If a player can only come one day, the cost is $25.

All players should bring a glove and tennis shoes (no spikes or cleats allowed). Players can bring their own bats. Please make sure all items have the player’s name on them for identification purposes.
