November 2011 Skill Clinics
The November Clinics are designed to give players the opportunity to continue improving their skills during the off-season. For players who have been active in baseball this fall, this a great chance to keep up the momentum in the “down” months leading up to try-outs in January. For players who have been active in other sports, these clinics are an excellent way to start getting tuned-up for the 2012 season. As always, you can look forward to a fun and positive learning experience with all your favorite Spring Training coaches!
Hitting Clinic (SOLD OUT!):
Players ages 7-12 may register for the Advanced Hitting hour (4-5pm) as we will now divide that clinic into two separate groups. Email Dan with any questions.
Pitching Clinic (4 workouts total):
This clinic will focus on correct pitching mechanics designed to help your ballplayer throw strikes all season long. Correct balance points, optimal arm action, and achieving a consistent and repeatable delivery will be the focus of this clinic. Players will be grouped be age and ability. This is a very low coach-to-player ratio program and space is limited.
Dates: Sundays Nov. 6, 13, 20, 27
Time: 2-3pm
Ages: 7-12
Location: RHLL
Tuition: $160
Infield and Outfield Defense (4 total workouts):
As ballplayers continue to develop their skills, the ability to competently play multiple positions often separates players of otherwise equal ability. For younger players, being able to field ground balls and make a solid throw or catch a pop-up with consistency could be the difference between a season spent in the outfield or constantly being in the middle of the action in the infield. For older players, defensive versatility and mastering the finer points of infield play (double play feeds, footwork around the bases, fielding bunts, etc) and outfield play (first step quickness, taking the correct and fastest route to the ball, angles on balls hit in the gap, etc) can only increase his value to the team in the eyes of his coaches. Players will be grouped by age and ability and space is limited.
Dates: Sundays Nov. 6, 13, 20, 27
Time: 3-4pm
Ages: 7-12
Location: RHLL
Tuition: $160
