I wanted to take a minute and thank you for an opportunity that your holiday camp provided my daughter.

A couple of years back my daughter Morgan attended your holiday camp with Niki XXXXXX who at the time was one of her teammates. It was a great experience and by implementing your 150 swings for success into her workouts her hitting has improved and we still use those drills every workout.

By both of you inviting all the other college coaches you do to work with these kids at the camp she was seen for the first time by Coach Canary from Tennessee Martin and last week verbally accepted an offer to play for him and the Skyhawks beginning in the fall of 2010.

The UTM campus and softball program were the perfect fit for her and a degree that reads the University of Tennessee won't hurt her later in life as well I am sure.

Thank you again for providing such an outlet for these kids to have the opportunity to work with so many good coaches and for allowing my daughter the chance to catch the eye of the coach that she will play for in college. Keep up the great work of inspiring our youth in the game to help realize their dreams.

Sincerely,
Brad XXXXX

John,

I wanted to personally thank you and Karen for the awesome slap and speed clinic. The message we walked away with was awesome. Katie has been working real hard on school work and she just came off a career week in basketball!!!! She was up against the number 6 ranked girl in the country and was to put up 18 points. I know she took to heart what Karen said about how important it is to do well in school, and to put faith and family first. You run a class act at Tennessee and what the kids walk away with is amazing. Thank You!!!!!

Dear Coach Weekly,

I wanted to Thank You for the most memorable Christmas EVER!!!! From the snowy ride to the airport to arriving at the McGhee Tyson Airport at 1:30 in the morning to the return trip back home in the snow, it was an unforgettable journey to and from Tennessee. Even though I was only able to get 4 hours of sleep on Friday, it was amazing I slept at all since I was so excited for your camp. The coaches and staff at the camp were top notch, but I especially liked Coaches Hendrix and Lynn. I brought back with me valuable tips and pointers that I cannot wait to put into action at one of my games. Thanks for inspiring me to continue to get good grades and to keep my priorities in order. I am now an even bigger fan of yours and of the University of Tennessee.

Sincerely,
Allison XXXXXX

I would just like to say that we enjoyed your camp again this year. This was the first time for my youngest and she had a blast.

To whom it may concern,

My daughter and her softball team came to the Weekly softball camp in June of this year. I had an opportunity while there to speak to Karen one on one. I was so impressed with the time they give just to listen and give advice. It is so apparent that the whole staff as well as the team loves the sport and working with the girls. I spoke with Karen about struggling in batting and not getting frustrated. She gave me some wonderful advice and it did payoff. I am married however my husband is out of town each week. After the camp, my daughters and I would go to the field with a pitching machine and work for at least 2 hours sometimes everyday. Time, patience and hard work does payoff. She is doing great now and has the confidence she needs to continue to get stronger. She made her middle school softball team and is a starter as a 7th grader. I just wanted to take the time and tell you what a great experience it was. They loved the camp and was able to meet Ashton Ward who is from the same area as us. Thanks again for a great experience.

Hello,

My name is Ashley XXXXXX and I attended your Pitching camp on July 14 and 15. I wanted to say Thank you to all the coaches for taking the time to work with the campers, for all their helpful tips and for a great camp over all. I plan to attend future camps.

Thank you again,

Coach McDaniel:

My daughter Hailey XXXXXX attended your pitching/catching clinic this week. We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the camp. She learned a lot about spins and worked hard to improve her velocity. She has attended several camps in the past couple of years, but they have not been very rewarding for her.

She thoroughly enjoyed your camp because she was placed with a group of girls who closely matched her age and ability. She improved her fastball from 49 mph on Monday to 53 mph on Tuesday thanks to learning some better mechanics from the drills she learned. Her change up is steady at 32 mph. She has been pitching for 2 years and just turned 12, so she is excited to see such an improvement in a short period of time. Thank you for adding value to her pitching.

As a parent observing, I also want to thank you for being so organized. I can tell you some horror stories about attending camps at other college campuses where no one knew what they were supposed to be doing, including the coaches. We look forward to attend again next year and plan to bring a few friends along as well.

Sincerely,
Tracie XXXXXX

Ralph, Karen, Weekly Family members (John, Mark), Camp Staff/UT Lady Vols members,

I am writing to express my gratitude to each and every member of the staff during the softball camp between 9 - 12 June 2008, at the University of Tennessee. The camp and the content of instruction at the camp, is a first class experience for today's youth. From the opening remarks of being respectful and thankful to family members for their sacrifices, to expressing a youth's need to be responsible, are all valuable lessons. Also, the quality of the instruction and the amount of one-on-one time spent with each and every camper to make them feel special, is a very important aspect of any camp. And after witnessing each and every day of the camp, seeing one of, if not both Head Coaches on the field, for what was nearly the entire duration of the three day camp, speaks volumes for the quality and passion of the coaches, the staff and the program at the University of Tennessee . Again, Thank You

Hi Coaches,

I just wanted to take this time on my behalf and my daughter Amanda XXXXXX to thank you so much for your wonderful speed camp. Amanda was in Jill's group and learned so much. She has put it all to practice since returning home. She has hopes of one day playing softball for the two of you at the great University of Tennessee.

I have showed her travel coaches and her varsity coaches the two DVD's in hopes that they will try to incorporate your training into their practices. Amanda watches the DVD's daily and has taken written notes so she can work on her own. Thanks for the DVD's they are a lot of help.

Again thanks for a wonderful camp and we look forward to some of your other camps as she plays multiple positions in the field.

Just wanted to tell you how much my daughter enjoyed this last weekend pitching camp. I thought you did a great job in running it. When you drive 8 hours one way, you want to get your money's worth. We felt like we did. We will be back this summer, and try to bring along a few of her teammates off "XXXXXXXXX" with us.

Good luck this year,

I wanted to drop a thank you for the Christmas camp you ran this year (2007), my daughter is still talking about how good it was. We have incorporated your hitting technique into her daily batting workout. I myself would like to thank you for how professional yet personal you, the other coaches, and players were. Thanks again, GO TENNESSEE !

Sincerely David & Savanna XXXX

I don't know if this is going to the correct person or not, but I just wanted to let someone know how pleased my daughter and I both were with the camp on July 9 and 10. It would take a couple of pages to say everything that I would like to say, but the biggest compliment is that my daughter definitely wants to come back next year. The instruction was very helpful to her and the coaches (all) were very good about trying to establish rapport with each and every girl. I even saw one parent or grandparent try to get onto one of the coaches about something and he handled it with the utmost of class and professionalism. It was a good thing to take moms and dads like me that can be pretty overbearing with our kids, out of the equation and let the kids have a good time learning.

Thank you for taking the time out of your lives and your families to give a little back to many kids who may never get to set foot on a college playing surface in any other way. Don't change anything and keep up the good work.

Dear Weekly Family,

I am writing just to let you know how impressed I was of your camp last weekend. I have 13 year old twin daughters (Kate & Shea XXXXXX) that are telling me this was the best Christmas present that they have ever received. They learned so much and had such a good time. My wife and I were most impressed that you could keep 400 girls busy, without ever having any down time. I hope that we can make it to another one of your camps in the near future.

Thanks,
Joey XXXXX
