First Annual ‘Amber Fiser Pitching Clinic’. Hosted by Simley High School, Inver Grove Heights, MN.

September 29th Clinicians: Amber Fiser (Gopher Pitcher 2017-2021), Autumn Pease (Gopher Pitcher 2020-2023), Robin Bumpus-Penoyer (Gopher Pitcher 1988-1992), & Gretchen Larson (Gopher Pitcher 1979-1982). Also Mary O’Brien (AIAW days), Kelly Darrow (1982-86), and Kim Niederluecke (1977-1981)

Excellent!

My two daughters had a great time at the beginner pitching clinic. Amber and the coaches communicated in ways that really clicked for us. We were able to see positive results right away and learned simple adjustments. This gave my daughters the tools and confidence they needed and they have wanted to practice their pitching every day since. We all are enjoying and celebrating the progress. The instructors took the time to connect with each pitcher and were encouraging, positive, and very knowledgeable. It was an excellent experience. 

The next day while practicing, my 8-year-old told me “I know what I want to be when I grow up now. A pitcher!!” (Lovie L.)

Highly Recommended!

Last weekend (September 29, 2024), I was truly blessed to catch my young granddaughters as they continued their pitching development by attending Amber Fiser’s pitching clinic. Amber had a few softball legends helping out. The clincians were focused on ensuring the girls not only learned skills but enjoyed the experience and gave them insight into continuing their pitching journey in a positive way.  Both granddaughters showed marked improvements in different areas of their pitching delivery.
