Physical Fitness Tip of the Week: Wednesday, July 1, 1998
By Gregory "Graig" White With more and more people playing softball, the intensity and competitive level has increased. As a conditioning coach, I recognize that in order to compete, athletes will have to be faster, stronger and more powerful than before. For this to happen, an effective and efficient training program must be created.
When working with softball athletes, it's important to remember that the game is made up of a series of explosive movements and being able to move in all directions is a skill great players spend a lot of time working on. The goals of our conditioning program are to reduce the risk of injury, produce athletes who are faster and more powerful, and to enhance their physical and mental strength.

High School Softball: Tuesday, June 16, 1998
By Pam Gargano This year, the Edgewood softball team has improved tremendously from last season.
Led by captains Megan Henhaffer, Mandie Walker, and Michael-Lin Tronco, the girls were a lot more competitive. Winning only one game last year, they managed to turn around and win 4 this year with a very young team.

South Jersey Modified League: Friday, June 11, 1998
By Nick Straguzzi What pops into your head when someone mentions "men's softball"? Huge guys taking massive swings at lob balls? Final scores that resemble football games? A keg of beer on each bench? And if that someone then says, "no, fastpitch softball", do you think of high school girls in ponytails?
If you were in the vicinity of Laurel Springs Park on Saturday June 13th, you'd best keep those thoughts to yourself. The top men's fastpitch players of the area took the field around 7:30 PM for the 20th annual All-Star Game of the South Jersey Modified Fastpitch League (SJML). It's the culmination of an evening's worth of events that honors not only a league, but a tradition.
