     USA Softball recently conducted two fastpitch camps, exclusively
for young male players, in conjunction with the ASA Junior Olympic
Boys National Championships in North Mankato, Minnesota.
 
     The first camp involved 20 boys who are in the pool group
of players born in 1989 or later that are age-eligible for selection
to the USA squad that will compete at the ISF Junior Men's World
Championship next June in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada.  All 20 of
these boys were playing with various club teams in the 14-Under,
16-Under and 18-Under ASA national tournaments.  USA Softball
junior men's national team head coach Tim Lyon, along with assistant
coaches Scott Standerfer and Gary Mullican conducted the 3-hour
camp at Caswell Park on Thursday afternoon, August 2.
 
     Later that evening, 30 boys from five states participated
in an open tryout camp for players born in 1989 or later.  The
junior men's coaching staff gave instruction in hitting and fielding
fundamentals as well as more individualized information for the
positions of pitchers and catchers, outfielders, middle infielders
and corner infielders.  From this group of boys, the coaching
staff was pleasantly surprised at the abilities of several players
who are age-eligible for next years USA national team as well
as the prospects for players born in 1993 or later who would
be eligible for the next ISF event in 2012.
 
     For further information about opportuniities to be a part
of the junior men's national team, contact USA Softball at www.usasoftball.org
