Softball Academy Program
For players who will play U15, U17, or U19 in 2024
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 softball 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. Our strength and conditioning sessions will be female-only groups designed specifically for female softball players.
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 (approximately $22/session). The Academy Program will also include periodic testing of key on-field metrics (e.g. throwing velocity & bat speed).

Hitting Sessions
The focus of each hitting session will be education. Hitters will learn the factors that influence the effectiveness of a swing, the areas of their swing that require adjustments, and how to self-monitor progress. The off-season hitting progression will cover the following:
1. Developing consistency in the prep phases of the swing
2. Improving transfer of power to maximize solid contact
3. Developing a consistent hitting approach
Sessions will include the use of video analysis, radar gun readings, and periodic use of bat sensors for swing data.
