MANILA -- The the Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines will conduct a free softball clinic at the Imus Truck Oval in Imus City, Cavite on Saturday, March 8 in celebration of International Women's Day.

Set for 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., the International Women's Day Softball Clinic is open to women and girls of all ages and skill levels, and no prior experience in softball is required to join.

It will feature expert instruction, hands-on drills, and friendly competition.

"Softball is more than just a game—it is a tool for empowerment," Jean Henri Lhuillier, president of ASA-PHIL, said in a statement.

"This clinic is not only about improving skills but also about building confidence, fostering teamwork, and promoting gender equality in sports. The women and girls who participate will not only gain valuable skills but will also become part of a larger movement that champions inclusivity and wellness for all," he added.

The clinic also hopes to shine a spotlight on the recent achievements of the RP Blu Girls, who have made great strides in international competitions.
