Franklinton Soccer Club registration

Registration is always open at the Franklinton Soccer Club.

Children can play during the Fall 2020 Season (Aug. 24-Oct. 17) with the membership fee of $60. The uniform fee is $70. The uniforms will be worn every year, so you won’t need to purchase another unless your child outgrows it. To register, go to www.franklintonsoccerclub.com. You can pay the registration fee and uniform fee separately there. Please have uniform fees paid by Monday, July 27 so they will arrive on time.

If your child is a current member and will not be playing Fall Soccer, please let them know. If your child is a current member and will be playing, be on the lookout for an email from the Franklinton Soccer Club and a message from the coach.

The club will play at the Atoka Recreation Complex this Fall on Hwy. 25. It is located two miles from the entrance to the Washington Parish Fairgrounds.

PRCC softball, baseball each hosting a summer showcase

Pearl River’s Community College’s softball and baseball programs are each hosting a summer showcase.

The softball showcase is for unsigned high school athletes.

The Wildcat staff will welcome rising high school freshmen to graduated seniors to Wildcat Stadium on July 11.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the clinic will run from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Following a lunch break, games will commence at 2:30 p.m.

During the clinic, athletes will be tested on home-to-first and around-the-bases sprint speed, catcher pop times and pitcher velocity and spin rates.

Participants are asked to bring their own softball gear.

To register, visit PRCCSoftballCamps.com. Pre-registration is discounted at $50, while walk-up participants will pay $60.

The baseball showcase takes place on July 7.

The event at Dub Herring Park is open to rising sophomores to unsigned seniors who have graduated (Class of 2020 to 2023).

The goal of the showcase is to give participants an opportunity to display their skills in front of college coaches. The clinic is structured like a pro-style workout, which will allow coaches to evaluate each camper in all areas of the game from speed and hitting to defense and pitching.

Registration is $100 and begins at 10 a.m.

To register, visit PRCCBaseballCamps.com. Anyone with questions can contact assistant coach and camp coordinator Brandon Pennington at bpennington@prcc.edu.
