2008 Big Mac Softball Camp

Soon we will be winding up our most successful camp to date. I have been to the professional clinics and college camps and I'll have to say that they have nothing on the Big Mac Summer Softball Camp 2008.

I would love to update you on your daughter's contributions but there is just too many drills and skills to name. She's an awesome coach! I'd like to thank them by class of..

I have had many come to me and tell me how polite and what great coaches these girls are. I am very,very, proud of them, It gives great joy in watching these fine young ladies give back all they have learned about this wonderful game. These girls are very impressive to observe instructing and demonstrating all the drills, I can't thank them enough!!

Thank you, Cobra Coach, Joe Garcia!! A real workhorse!

Coach Robyn Porter, Thanks for all your help!

Behind the scenes thanks to: Maggie, Stacie, Maria, Sandy, Scott, Thomas, Letcia, Kim, and HGSL. Without the help of these people it would have been impossible to run a camp this size.

A very special thanks to my wife Dianna, she really loves softball, Thank You God. Oh and Fishing!

Thank You, to all who attended, I'm grateful for your support of good softball. We are a school organization and operate on a very tight budget, you have made it possible for us to have the most diversified practice equipment.

We are looking for a lost bat by louisville and a brown glove with a name on it. Please call me 713-705-9810 if it got placed with your daughters things.

I will be making dvds of pictures and video taken at the camp for $10-please email me at jgrotenhuis@aldine.k12.tx.us. Also the girls are putting together a video for anyone who can't remember the drills- $20. It will include all the camp drills and pictures.

Next camp will be in the fall, check back right here for updates.

Debra Kelly doubled to left field and scored on a Sarina Sanchez smash up the middle. Linda Linares ground rule doubled into left and 2 runs scored on Alyssa Garcia's base hit to center. Alyssa scored on a Cecily Gomez single. This would be all the runs needed in the 4-2 Victory.
