Florida

The Girls will be headed down to Florida to train at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. IMG provides a premier training experience in a picturesque setting. During the trip, athletes and coaches reside on-site and enjoy most of their meals at IMG’s expansive dining hall that is conveniently located on their training campus. IMG is an all-inclusive training venue, featuring several batting cages, an extensive fitness and weight-training center, and ample turf fields for practices and games.  The trip provides a great opportunity for team bonding, connection, and preparation for the season ahead. Our softball team also enjoys their time on the IMG campus, and truly makes the most of their week of training.
