Thank you to Alexis Lucyshyn and Jenelle Maul for facilitating these clinics. Alexis’ bio is found below, and Janelle’s is in the first comment.

Alexis earned a scholarship to play NCAA Division I softball at the University at Buffalo, where she competed for five years. Primarily a pitcher, Alexis also contributed as a hitter and played first base and outfield, giving her experience across multiple positions and a well-rounded understanding of the game.
Alexis’s passion for softball has continued well beyond her university career. She currently plays with a women’s team from Alberta and recently helped her team earn a silver medal at the Women’s National Championship.
With experience ranging from grassroots softball in Calgary to the international stage and NCAA Division I competition, Alexis is excited to share her knowledge, experience, and love of the game with the next generation of SBR athletes.
