Coach Just wanted to let you know that we still have a few spots open for TRAVEL COACHES to attend our College Exposure Camp this January. Many of you already have athletes who will be attending and we wanted to make sure you realized you are invited too! Of course there is NO COST to COACHES for attending. If you have not encouraged your athletes to attend this camp, we ask that you consider the following information: Here are 4 advantages for athletes attending our camps: 1. Learning. All drills will be conducted by several different College Coaches. 2. Players will be seen! This is not a “needle in a haystack†approach, as some college exposure weekend tournaments can be. Our athlete/college coach ratios are 5:1 and each athlete will rotate through ALL the college coaches in attendance. 3. Networking. AS a COACH you and your athletes will be able to get up close and personal with each of our college coaches. You will have an opportunity to talk and discuss strategy. These college coaches have been around softball for a long time. They have picked up a trick or two. We believe by having the opportunity to network and watch your athletes perform we have created a win-win environment for the College Coach, the player and the Travel/High School Coach. I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, “It isn’t always what you know, but who you know.†While we agree that talent and hard work is CRITICAL to an athlete’s success – we also believe that opportunities to network are also important. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. 4. Written Evaluation. Each player will be given a written evaluation of their workout and things to work on to improve their game.

How many times have you gone to a College Exposure Tournament and felt like you were not really seen by a college coach? There are many reasons why you may not have been “seen†by a college coach. How about “LOTS of players†and only a “FEW college coaches†or perhaps circumstances created an environment where you were not able to do your best. Such as, you were walked or got hit by a pitch or there were no balls hit to you when the college coach was looking. What did the college coach really see you do? On top of the “needle in the haystack†experience your parents also paid a lot of money to attend the tournament, spent the entire weekend just hoping someone would see you play at your best and were disappointed when not a single college coach approached you or even made a comment. How is our Exposure Camp different??? By attending our Exposure Camps we guarantee YOU WILL BE SEEN! You will have the opportunity to perform and interact in front of several different college coaches, all of whom are recruiting! You will have the opportunity to personally meet each coach! Groups will be limited to a 5 to 1 ratio!!! Also, you will be given a written evaluation of your workout!!! YOU will get individualized attention as these college coaches run YOU through their drills! This is a great opportunity! Fun! Great Exposure! Wonderful Experience! Spaces are limited. Sign up today!

This year the TSCA will be hosting our friends from Kentucky in the Annual All Star Game. The game this year will be played at Draper Diamond at Lipscomb University in Nashville TN. We are changing the name to Honor one of the founders from Kentucky Jim McAlister. With Jim's wisdom and desire to bring these outstanding players from Kentucky and Tennessee in a annual All Star Game, without his help this game would have never taken place. Jim as been a asset to softball for many years in Kentucky working with the Kentucky Softball Coaches Association and working with TSCA to bring this event to Tennessee. At this time we want to Honor Jim with the changing of the name of the game to be called: Jim McAlister Kentucky All Stars and Tennessee All Star Game Thank you Jim for being such a great friend to the Softball Community in both states. We will be announcing the time and date of our game at a later time. Thanks John

We want to thank all of the players/parents and college coaches who attended our 2nd Annual Exposure Camp. We weren't able to play games because of the morning rain, but we got all of our defensive, hitting and timing drills completed. We want to thank Coach Donley Canary from UT Martin speaking to the players about the process of being recruited. Explaining to the players the importance of having good grades, putting together a video, contacting the schools and continuing to work hard at their skill. Thank You to former College Coach (West Virginia, Florida State, Alabama and Head Coach at Tulsa University and NFL Coach George Henshaw Director of Recruiting Education (Broncos, Giants, Titans and Saints) for explaining to all of the girls that there is a place to play if they want to find it and get to work and contact these coaches. He told the players: Next year at this time you will wish that you had started today why are you waiting? Again we want to say thank you for attending and already making plans for next year!
