Academy Program
The off-season offers a unique opportunity for players to make significant adjustments to their game without having to compete in game situations. Our goal with winter training is to provide players with the opportunity to develop as well rounded baseball players and more superior athletes. Combining skill development with strength & conditioning sessions allows players to progress more quickly in areas like hitting power, throwing velocity, and base running speed. The holistic nature of the Academy Program will encompass skill development, the implementation of a mental approach to the game, physical development for enhanced performance, and injury prevention.
The Academy Program will allow players to combine all training sessions at a reduced cost. The Academy Program will also include full testing including on-field (e.g. throwing velocity & bat speed) and weight room tests (strength, power, and agility testing).
