In December, Brentwood High School’s Whitney Christian signed to play softball at Union University in Jackson, TN. The Showtime Sports Academy member is a middle infielder and outfielder who will be joining Union in the fall of 2012 as a freshman. At Brentwood High School, Whitney played varsity all four years. She was named all-district honorable mention twice, all-district tournament, and was also the MVP of the Sara-Beth Whitehead Tournament. She practices at Showtime Sports Academy often and it seems to have paid off! Congratulations Whitney and the best of luck at Union!

Coming up in a couple weeks is another terrific baseball camp at Showtime Sports Academy! Winter Workout Camp will be starting October 18th. Anyone ages 6-14 is able to join. It will be twice a week for five weeks, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The camp is designed to help players with the fundamentals of the game, such as: sliding, hitting, throwing, fielding, baserunning, and pitching. One unique aspect of this camp is that all the instructors are either former or current professional players.  Camp will last from 5:30-7:30 PM. If you are a member, the cost is $245.  If you are not a member it will be $295. Not a bad price for such a helpful camp!

Showtime Sports Academy is proud to announce its newest addition! Kelley Cash will be the new instructor for softball players. From Ohio, she started all four years at Hudson High School. She then studied and played softball at Belmont University where she graduated this spring. At Belmont, she played second base, center field, and left field.  Her expertise is in hitting,  especially bunting and slapping. She hit in the ninth spot at Belmont and was even captain as a senior. Since slapping has recently become a very large part of softball, Kelley arrival is much anticipated. She is currently pursuing her Masters degree at Belmont in Sports Administration. She will be a great addition to Showtime's staff and cannot wait to start!

If you would like to schedule lessons, email Kelley at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call her at 615-364-1984!
