Baseball Training Series
The Baseball Training Series is a twenty-four week program, broken into six week sections, to intensely train serious baseball players in Pitching, Hitting, Catching, and Defense. Each six-week series will scaffold off the previous program, it will not repeat each section. If you missed the previous section there will be opportunities for individual lessons to teach the previous series curriculum as the group progresses forward.
The Baseball Training Series will work on every aspect of the game. Players will learn defensive footwork, glove work, 7 ways to move the baseball, 7 ways to get on base, the art of bunting, hitting the curve ball, working the base, speed, agility, core strength development, shoulder strengthening program, and many, many more. There are over 10,000 teaching points in this program! All skill levels and ages are highly encouraged to participate in this program. This program has been developed from 15 years of coaching, studying, and researching player development for baseball. Drills used from every level of baseball. Drills learned from the greatest baseball coaches in the nation; from Brian Butterfield, current bench coach of the Toronto Blue Jays, Rod Delmonico University of Tennessee, Andy Lopez University of Arizona, Ed Cheff Lewis and Clark State College, Skip Bertman LSU, Travis Jewitt Arizona State University, Ron Polk Mississippi State, Jim Dietz San Diego State, and many more.
These drills were not simply read from books, they were personally taught during national coaches’ conventions, one on one work outs, coaches’ clinics, or during dinner conversations. Your son will learn processes and techniques passed down from the top. This curriculum will meet or exceed any indoor baseball training series in the nation!
As the Baseball Training Series progresses through the stages, players will be broken off into smaller cohorts or groups. These groups will be age, position, and performance specific groups.
