DOLLS Downers Grove Softball

03/01/2026

Hi DOLLS families,

Our DOLLS organization is pleased to announce several FREE clinics for DOLLS players this month. These clinics are intended to help beginner pitchers learn the basics of pitching and all ages of DOLLS are welcome. We especially encourage the youngest age groups for pitching in DOLLS including the third graders which begin pitching for the first time in the spring.

These clinics will be taught by Bre Deutscher. Bre is a pitching instructor and coach for the Windy City organization and played softball at Triton and Benedictine.

Since these clinics are indoors, space is limited to 10 girls per session. Each participant needs to bring someone to catch for them.

The clinics will be at the following times at the Downers Grove South high school fieldhouse. Enter through the west side doors and walk down the long hall and the field house is on your left:
Session 1 - Sunday, March 8th, 12-1245pm
Session 2 - Sunday, March 8th, 1-145pm

Session 3 - Sunday, March 15th, 12-1245pm
Session 4 - Sunday, March 15th, 1-145pm
