[September 11, 2019]
The Lincoln College Softball team and coaching staff spent Saturday,
September 7, hosting the program’s first-ever softball youth clinic
and Gift a Glove event. Approximately thirty children ages
kindergarten through 4th grade learned basic fielding, throwing, and
hitting skills at this free event. In addition, free used gloves,
bats, and other equipment were given out to every child that desired
one through donations from the Gift a Glove program. Louie the Lynx
also made an appearance at the event to take photos with the kids.

Lincoln College players served as coaches and mentors to the
participants at the event and all reported having a positive
experience.
LC sophomore Bryanne McBride said. “It was a great experience
getting to teach them game of softball and the fun times that come
with it.”

Freshman Kiya Hagene agreed, “I really enjoyed working with the kids
and they were so well-behaved. It was a lot more fun than what I
expected, and I can’t wait for them to come back next year!”
Head Coach Boyd Nowicki was happy with the result of the day. “I
feel the clinic was a huge success, and I also think that our team
learned just as much from our campers as they hopefully learned from
us,” said Nowicki. “It's always good to give back to the sport that
you love to help grow the game. Collegiate softball has grown so
much over the past ten years, and some of that is due to experiences
like this that help instill the love for the sport in young
players.”
Coach Nowicki went on to explain that one of the goals of his
program is to promote a family environment and that events such as
the Gift a Glove program are designed to extend that presence into
the surrounding community. Coach Nowicki hopes to be able to bring
more events such as this one to campus in the near future.
