Catching Camps & Classes
It is the most difficult position to fill on any youth team. Baseball & Softball Catching is to pitching like a jockey is to a horse. A trained catcher can serve as an on-field/in-game pitching coach. The catcher needs to be highly skilled at his/her position and an effective leader.
Our 5-week Catching Camps & Classes will reinforce basic and advanced skills such as: basic throwing mechanics, receiving, blocking, understanding how to throw and catch off speed pitches, the art of saving strikes and learning how to recognize pitchers mechanical flaws. Each catcher will be held to a standard that parallels their skill level.
Vision training will also be incorporated in to every session to help players train to their mind to see fast and react quicker.
**New** Catching Classes will be offered in a drop-in fashion. You may sign up for one or all of the Catching Classes. These class sessions require you to sign up for each class separately allowing you to pick and choose the class you would like to attend.

Softball Pitching Camp (5-weeks)
During the Softball Pitching Camp pitchers will specialize in pitching fundamentals and increasing explosiveness. Our goal is to emphasize teaching players the effective use of their body to create a more repetitive and efficient throwing motion helping pitchers throw faster and straighter. During the 1-hour sessions we will identify and improve upon a pitcher’s basic and advanced pitching mechanics. Players will learn to throw to specific locations and develop a safe, effective, and consistent throwing motion with the goal of throwing 60% strikes or more. A video review using the JC Video analyzer will be conducted during the first session.
Vision training will also be incorporated in to every session to help players train to their mind to see fast and react quicker.

Softball Hitting Camp (5-weeks)
During this 5week camp softball players will meet for 1 hour once a week. The day and time you register for your players will be the day and time they attend for the 5 sessions in February and March.
Our Softball hitting camps will concentrate on changing the way you swing a bat to improve power and distance on the ball. These camps are for players looking to increase their batting average and slugging percentage the spring training season. The drill work performed in the earlier stages of the camp will reinforce the proper body movements to get the path of the bat on plane with the oncoming pitch. In a small 3-player group, our staff will introduce our exclusive Pinkman training drills, Rebel Rack movement progressions, baseball specific vision training, advanced hitting strategies, weighted ball training to increase strength and explosiveness, and incorporate NCAA & Major League swing mechanics.
