The University of Alabama softball team will be signing autographs on the quad on Saturday, October 16 prior to the Alabama-Southern Miss football game.
The team will autograph nearly five dozen softballs as well as autograph cards, in addition to anything fans have to be signed.
The session is scheduled to begin at 12:45 p.m. and will continue until 1:30 p.m.
The autograph session will occur a week prior to the 2004 Fall Brawl, where fans can watch the 2004-05 Crimson Tide softball team take on Central Alabama Community College, Wallace-Dothan and Shelton State. The first game of the day will feature the Tide taking on Central Alabama beginning at 12:00 p.m.
Spots still Available in NFCA Coaches College
There are still a few open slots for the 2004 NFCA Coaches College which will be held on campus at The University of Alabama, November 12-14.
Participants enrolled in the course will learn how to teach players to defense hits, bunts, slaps and steals, as well as how to execute relays, pickoffs and rundowns.
The course will also provide an in-depth analysis of various defensive sets and how to select the appropriate set for a variety of game situations. Participants will also receive assistance in identifying and developing a personal defensive philosophy and developing strategic insight.
The instructors for the course include Alabama head coach Pat Murphy, Nebraska head coach Rhonda Revelle and former Northwestern coach and NFCC director Sharon Drysdale.
The cost of the three-day course is $225 for NFCA members and $250 for non-NFCA members. Participants can save $25 by registering at least 14 days in advance. For more information, coaches can contact the NFCA at 662.320.2155 or Crimson Tide head coach Pat Murphy at 205.348.4455.
