“We are very excited to host Angela Tincher and Rob Crews in a FastPitch Pitching and Hitting Doubleheader Clinic on January 4,” said Craig Koch, Owner/General Manager of Frozen Ropes. “Angela is one of the premier pitchers in fastpitch softball as evidenced by her no-hitter of the USA Olympic Softball Team this spring. She is an excellent example for all the young softball players in our community. Not only is she one of the best players in all of softball but she was an Academic All-American at Virginia Tech. This clinic will be one of her last stops before leaving to play in Japan this spring,” said Koch.
“We are very fortunate to once again host Rob Crews and his Scope & Rope Hitting Clinic,” added Koch. “Rob is a frequent guest instructor at Frozen Ropes Chantilly and our Summer FastPitch Invitational Camp for elite prep players. Rob has trained some of the top fastpitch players in the northeast and worked with some of the top collegiate teams in the country. His advice on the mental skills of playing at the highest levels is a must for any high school player that wants to play collegiately,” said Koch.
