2021 Fall Prospect Camp

The University of Chicago Softball program will host the UChicago Fall Softball Prospect Clinic – October 10, 2021 at the UChicago Softball Field on campus. Space is limited to 35 participants.

Conducted by the University of Chicago Softball Coaching Staff, the UChicago Fall Clinic is a unique opportunity for prospective student-athletes (current HS sophomores, juniors and seniors) to experience the demands of college softball in a positive and instructive environment. 

The clinic will include softball drills and instruction designed to replicate the daily training environment of our current softball student-athletes, along with a competitive live game segment. Each camper will receive hitting instruction and specialized defensive instruction according to position from the camp staff. 

Clinic participants will be able to meet members of the current team as they assist with the clinic and share their recruiting and collegiate softball experiences firsthand. Additionally, an optional campus tour will be available at the end of the clinic session. The coaching staff and current student-athletes will facilitate a discussion on the recruitment process overall and help the campers prepare for their own college research and decision process.

Chicago's COVID-19 Travel Policy

The City of Chicago has just issued an updated travel advisory for people traveling from “orange states”, as defined by the Chicago Department of Public Health.  At this time, this includes all states with the exception of Vermont.

There are no restrictions for individuals who are fully vaccinated.

Unvaccinated individuals who are traveling from out of state are severely restricted (see below for restrictions or refer to the link above).  The University of Chicago cannot welcome these individuals (players or spectators) on campus because we would be in violation of Chicago Department of Health guidelines.

Unvaccinated individuals traveling from a high-risk ("orange") state should:

  • Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days before travel AND after arrival in Chicago  you must self-quarantine for a full 7 days.
  • Even if you test negative, you must self-quarantine for the full 7 days.
  • If your test is positive, isolate yourself to protect others from getting infected.
  • If you don’t get tested, you must self-quarantine for 10 days after arrival.
  • Avoid being around people who are at increased risk for severe illness for 14 days, whether you get tested or not.

If for some reason the camp is cancelled due to covid related restrictions, we will refund those who registered.
