Terrebonne Parish Recreation (TPR) announced the 2021 Softball Pitcher/Catcher Extended Practice Sessions. There will be two sessions offered, which last two days a week for four weeks throughout the months of July and August.
The sessions are free to girls who registered for the 2021 Terrebonne Parish Recreation softball season, and registration is required. The participants, pitchers and catchers, must register together as a pair, and they will cycle through sessions together as a dedicated two-person match-up. The pitcher/catcher pair should be paired with the same age-appropriate group, and sessions are limited to ten pitcher/catcher pairs per session.
Registration is available in-person at the Government Tower, and both the pitcher and catcher need to be present. When registering, choose Softball Camp “GREEN” for Tuesday and Thursday schedule or Softball Camp “GOLD” for Wednesday and Friday schedule. Participants are asked to include a valid email address and must have participated in a 2021 team. Once 2021 participation is verified, participants will receive an email with the specific details. The advise that Yahoo email users may have to check the “junk mail” folder.
