We provide coaching on infield and outfield positions (not pitching), with an emphasis on catching
when players are experienced enough (usually 13+).
We offer personal and group training that focuses on the fundamentals and
mechanics of fielding, hitting, and throwing as well as
developing the mental toughness required to be a team leader.
Catching training focuses on receiving, framing, and blocking,
and strengthening the core, back, and legs.
