Play the Game (Manchester, NH) is pleased to announce the lineup for the fifth clinic in our College Coaches Clinic series. We will have Assistant Coach Katie Bettencourt from Worcester Polytechnic Institute here at our facility to put on a fast pitch Softball clinic focused on developing players on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball for players age 14 and up.

The clinic is just $40 per player; and space is limited. I have heard that there might be a few spots still available, please email Jim Cardello to see if there’s a space available for this clinic.

Katie brings a vibrancy and passion to the WPI softball program. Recently graduating from Northeast powerhouse University of Massachusetts, she rejoins Goldstein after playing one year (2005) at Salem High School (New Hampshire) together, and also one year at UMass (2009).
