WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM PRE SEASON CAMP?

Repetitions

All players must take ground balls, hit, pitch, catch, and throw to maximize their skills.

Training

All players must work the appropriate muscles in the appropriate fashion to improve all their skills.

Endurance

All players must TRAIN for the season, not practice for the season.  Champions are made in the off season.

Baseball Specific Movements

Players must master all movement when on offense and defense.  Baseball is a game of reaction and players must learn proper technique for sprinting, jumping, decelerating and changing direction.

Warm Up

A dynamic warm up is the CORRECT way to warm up the body.  It activates the central nervous system and helps warm up the correct muscles about to be engaged on the field and while training.

Strength and Speed

Core, lower, and upper body strength training is essential when becoming an overall better athlete and ballplayer.  It’s important to compliment the technique by learning through our program with proper training.

Confidence

Confidence comes from repetition and hard work.  We’ll help push the athletes in the right direction for on field performance.
