Training
The purpose of this section is to provide all managers, coaches and parents a foundation in the fundamentals and skills required to play fastpitch softball. It is highly important that each player be exposed to the same quality of information as they develop and mature during their years with SRVGAL. With a uniformity of coaching, throughout the age groups; players, managers, and their future teams, will be the beneficiaries of a higher level of play.

For questions, comments, or more information on training you can contact Joe Callaway at joe@srvgal.org.

Mike Candrea Instructional Videos
Mike Candrea might be the most successful college head coach in any sport. Candrea has almost too many accomplishments to list. As the head coach at the University of Arizona for the last 22 years, his Wildcats have won eight National Championships and earned 21 trips to the Women's College World Series. A renowned teacher, the U.S. Olympic Committee honored Candrea with the "Olympic Shield" award in 2004, the most prestigious award within the U.S. Olympic Movement, for his work with the softball program.
