Hitting and Pitching Clinic Coached by Local College Athletes
SPRING BRANCH, TEXAS — Young softball players spent their Saturday morning building confidence and sharpening their swings at a high-energy Hitting and Pitching Clinic hosted in partnership with Lonestar Softball, led by local college softball athletes and hosted by Top Tier Lessons.
The two-hour camp welcomed athletes ages 6–13 for focused instruction designed to help them take the next step at the plate. Throughout the session, players rotated through drill stations emphasizing strong hitting mechanics, balance, bat speed, and consistent contact, while also learning how to develop a confident approach in game situations. The college coaches kept the pace fun and engaging, breaking down advanced concepts into simple, age-appropriate cues that young athletes could immediately apply.
Led by UT Arlington utility player Cameron Cooper and University of the Incarnate Word pitcher Bella Mitchell, athletes gained firsthand insight into the drills, techniques, and mindset used at the collegiate level. Reflecting on the experience, Cooper shared, “The clinic was a rewarding experience. I loved working with athletes who were excited to learn, grow, and embrace failure, which made the camp even more impactful. Top Tier Lessons made the process so easy, and Journey’s guidance made it all possible.”
Mitchell echoed that sentiment, adding, “It was a blast and I love getting to work with the next generation of athletes!” Both coaches emphasized confidence, effort, and enjoyment of the game as key takeaways for young players.
The clinic also featured live reps with individualized feedback, along with a college Q&A session where families heard directly from current college athletes about their journeys, early development, and what it takes to grow in the sport. A portion of the proceeds benefited Lonestar Softball, reinforcing the event’s focus on community impact alongside player development.
The Hitting and Pitching Clinic is part of Top Tier Lessons’ growing lineup of athlete-led camps, giving young athletes access to high-quality coaching while creating meaningful NIL opportunities for college players.
