She is an active member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Assoc., and works with athletes and colleges all over the U.S. (Web: www.softballrecruiting.com; Email: info@fastpitchrecruiting.com)

At her clinics, Ms. Aradi discusses what it takes to "make the cut" and how to find the college and the team that are right for your player(s) as well where to find scholarships and financial aid.

v how to take control of your own college search
