High School & Middle School Pitching Academy
Nov 19, 2023 – Feb 23, 2024
Mondays & Wednesdays OR Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6:15-7:30 pm
$275 Per Month
Our academy program provides technical instruction, but also focuses exceptional time on age appropriate strength, flexibility & conditioning. Our pitching academy is part of our technical instructional series and led by former college coaches and/or former professional pitchers.
The month of November includes emphasis on exercises and techniques to train the scapular stabilizers as well as the rotator cuff. In addition, pitcher specific strength training & conditioning with increased emphasis on core & legs will be a key component.
Academy enrollment fee includes initial enrollment of $275 to RSVP + Dec, Jan & February monthly fee is also required, which includes all of the aforementioned from November, and throwing commences with a gradual ramp up in December. This camp molds smart & seasoned pitching coaches with new school technology. The college and MLB caliber technology measures the impact of spin on every ball; it shows the actual flight of a pitched baseball and calculates the corresponding trajectory of the same pitch without any spin.
The overall goal is to increase pitcher’s velocity in the strike zone while avoiding arm injuries. Additionally, ensuring each pitcher has a dynamic secondary pitch is a key part of the pitching academy programming.
