LANCASTER, Pa. -

Franklin & Marshall's softball team, under the direction of new Head Coach, Michael Cooperstein, will host a series of softball skills clinics for girls ages 8-17 throughout the month of February. The clinics will be held on February 10, 17 and 24 from 10 a.m. to noon in the College's Alumni Sports Fitness Center.

Cooperstein brings nearly two decades of coaching experience to his instruction. On the collegiate level, Cooperstein spent five seasons (2001-2006) as an assistant at Saint Joseph's University. Two of those seasons were spent as the bench coach and hitting instructor, while the other three were spent overseeing the squad's pitchers and infielders.

With his help, the Hawks battled their way into the Atlantic 10 Conference playoffs four times. The 2004 squad finished second in the Atlantic 10, snapping the University of Massachusetts' 73-game, home-winning streak in the process. That team was the first Saint Joseph's squad to play for an A10 championship. Three of Cooperstein's players earned Academic All-America honors.
