The European Softball Coaches Association (ESCA) will host the online show "ESCA camp the reunion - LIVE" on March 15, 2021.

On the LIVE Show on March 15, three of our guests will be connected from The Netherlands: Britt Vonk, Marjolein Merkx, and Jeroen Swers.

Britt Vonk took part in the second ESCA Camp of 2017 as a guest talking about slapping, pitch speed, and mental errors. A part of her speech is visible here.

Marjolein Merkx has always been present at the ESCA Camps: "I have been part of the ESCA Staff since the beginning and I keep coming back because I love the concept so much. I made lifetime friends, I shared my love and passion for the game with people from all over Europe (or even the world), and broadened my network."

Marjolein also added: "It is an amazing way to share my knowledge with coaches and show the players a different way of training. I showed them a different approach to pitching than they probably have heard before and I’m sure they all loved it. It’s very hard to describe the feeling that ESCA camps gave me and will give me in the future."

Coach Jeroen Swers will also be one of the guests at the "ESCA camp the reunion - LIVE". Jeroen was an instructor in 2019 at the ESCA camp in Diessen, together with Elisa Cecchetti and Marta Gasparotto.
ESCA will have the pleasure to have all of them as guests during the Live Show on March 15.

The Live Show will consist of a series of interviews with the guests and past participants of the ESCA Camps. It will be an occasion for those who never took part in ESCA Camp to get to know the past instructors and the campers to remember some good times.

Join us for 90 minutes of softball highlights, tips, and suggestions.
