River Hawk Softball Pitch/Catch Clinic 2026 was a big success! The morning group consisted of 3rd-5th graders, and the afternoon group was 6th-12th graders, all girls with an interest in pitching or catching. Thank you to Coach Emily, a pitching coach from the Clinton area, for bringing her expertise to the afternoon group.
