This camp is intended to assist and build specific skills levels for each player. The camp will be fun, fast paced, AND highly informative. Drills provided will focus on skill development through innovative drills that will emphasize on four core areas of the game. Players learn more when they are having fun, feeling good and are positive about the experience. Pizza Lunch will be provided the third day.
Over the 3 days we will focus on specific skill sets:
- Day 1 will focus on defensive skills. This includes infield, outfield, and general throwing mechanics and accuracy. Instructors will go over proper arm care pre game, how to properly play catch, receive the ball and grips.
- Day 2 will focus on offensive skills. Hitting and baserunning. Proper footwork.Hitting fundamentals include stance, proper bat size, balance, load and lower half vs upper half movement.
- Final day will incorporate both skill sets in fun and fast paced mini games.
Camp will be broken into small groups as players will rotate through a variety of high energy stations.
