MLK Day Softball Clinic with Rockhurst University

Click HERE to register!

OGSA is pleased to announce we will partner with Rockhurst University for two softball clinics on MLK Day, January 20th, 2025. A morning clinic and an afternoon clinic will be offered once again. The sessions are based on age so please pay attention to that when signing up.  We are fortunate to have the Rockhurst Coaches and Players to provide instruction and share their years of experience and skills.  Rockhurst is now coached by Dana Goss, and she has facilitated our clinics in the past, and does an amazing job.

Coach Dana Goss is entering her 22nd season as a college coach. Dana has worked at all levels of the game from competitive youth to the NCAA Division I level. In 2005 she was voted the region XVI Coach of the Year and NFCA Coaching staff of the year as she led her team, Maple Woods CC to the College World Series. Dana was at the helm of Avila University when the team won a conference title and earned a spot in the NAIA National Tournament. The team was featured on ESPN as the Top Play on Sports Center while making quite the splash during their magical post season run. Dana has been a part of the direct development of numerous All-Conference, All-Region, and All-American players. She has coached the KCAC player of the year in 2019 and the HEART Pitcher of the Year in 2016. Now in her second season at Rockhurst University this season, she looks to continue to push the nationally recognized program forward.

At this clinic, all aspect of the game of softball will be covered from base running to fielding. There will also be breakout sessions to go over specific positions (infield/outfield and pitching/catching). Campers will also have the opportunity to get their t-shirts signed by the Rockhurst University players! In the past, some girls preferred they get a softball signed – so bring an extra softball if you would like to get that signed instead.

The morning session is from 9am-Noon and is for players 12 and younger. The afternoon session is from 1-4pm and is for campers ages 12 and above.

Price is $65.00 per player. This includes a camp t-shirt, so make sure you select the correct size when registering as this is the size we will go off of. In order to guarantee your camp t-shirt the day of, player must be registered by January 13th at midnight

Details and Registration is available at the following link. We encourage you to register early as the camp does have an entry limit.
