Saturday 24th of November, 2018.

​A big thank you to all the Families that attended! 
80 Players to 20 Coaches,
It was a fun learning environment for the day. 

The Morning Session was a station-to-station progression that started with:

• Team stretch and activation

• Base-running. Leads, Stealing and how to effectively run/ round the bases. 

• Introduction to higher level 'arm care' plus 'cues' that are important in regards to effectively throwing a baseball. 

• Throwing Program with Target Practice challenge 

• Outfield play. How to use the 'pro-step' in transferring the baseball from catching to throwing. 

• Infield play. Fundamental Progression with our hands into footwork around the baseball, finishing up with effectively turning Double plays.

The Afternoon Session was all about Offense:
For the younger group, we took a 'pro-style' batting practice that involved. 

• Live Batting Practice

• Live Defense Stations 

• Live Baserunning Stations (Reading the ball and getting as many repetitions on the base paths as possible)

• Then we finished the day with a Wiffle Ball Tournament -

For the Older Group, we started in the batting cages focusing on: 

• Bunting (finer points and different types)

• Introduction to Ballistic training by executing hitting progressions with weighted-balls 

• Tee Drills. Learning the subtleties of your swing

• Off the Machine - Executing consistent timing and rhythm, from on deck to in the box​-

Which prepared us for: 

• Live Batting Practice

• Live Defense Stations 

• Live Baserunning Stations (Reading the ball and getting as many repetitions on the base paths as possible).

Thank you,
