Pitching Academy (14u-18u)

The academy meets 2x per week with a professional instructor! This session is Mondays/Wednesdays, but if winter conflicts arise, it is probable to attend makes up on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

The 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.

Early December emphasis is 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 $290 to RSVP + dues also in Jan & February are also required, which includes all of the above. This camp molds smart & seasoned pitching coaches with new school technology. The college and MLB caliber technology from Trackman 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.
