THE BEACH LEAGUE...
In the summer of 2014, Nina was selected to participate in “The Beach League”, a Myrtle Beach softball camp that draws topnotch college players from major DI conferences.
What excited me the most about The Beach League: Meeting new people and getting the opportunity to play against, and with, some of the best collegiate softball players .

mostly DI standouts from universities and colleges across the country. |
What I learned from the experience: All aspects of the game, work ethic and fitness techniques. I got a lot of quality at bats and had a great experience catching for these pitchers. Their work ethic and pace is something I brought back with me to Wesley. The league was an experience that I will never forget.
Where there any surprises? On the last day I was even able to see my Wesley College roommate, Bre Hartman (who was visiting) and coach her sister's team at the Nationals in Myrtle.
