Sanford Sports Academy hosting softball recruiting camp and player panel
Posted: October 22, 2025
The Sanford Sports Academy in Sioux Falls will host a softball recruiting camp for grades 3-12 on Sunday, November 23 at the Sanford Fieldhouse. The showcase will include instruction and skill work from Sanford trainers, coaches, and college athletes.
After the camp, five college softball players originally from South Dakota will host a panel discussing their collegiate experience and answering questions from campers. The player panel includes the following:
- Lexie Brady – Ole Miss graduate assistant
- Autumn Bryant – Northern State University
- Tevan Bryant – Northern State University
- Isabel Carda – University of South Dakota
- Emillee Stofferahn – Butler Community College (KS)
“This is a unique opportunity for kids from around the area to learn about different areas of the game of softball,” said Toby Bryant, Sanford Sports Academy lead softball specialist. “Not only will they receive top quality instruction on the field, they’ll also be able to hear directly from college athletes and ask them about what it takes to maximize their own potential.”
The camp will feature two different groups of instruction, with grades 3-6 taking place from 9:00-10:30 a.m. and grades 7-12 taking place from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The player panel for all ages will take place from 1-2 p.m. Athletes who attend will be able to get autographs and pictures with the players after the panel.
Registration is available online at the Sanford Sports website.
