LESSON BREAKDOWN

PITCHING DURATION:

Each lesson will normally last about an hour. If the pitcher is tired and an hour is not completed, this the most crutial time to stop pitching. The pitcher will begin to create bad habits. Generally, once the pitcher has memorized the movements, drills should last about 15-20 minutes and warm-up about 10 more minutes. We will watch to make sure that during this whole time the pitcher is doing everything right. Then the pitcher will begin pitching.

HITTING / CATCHING DURATION

Each lesson will normally last about an hour. If the student gets tired too quickly and an hour is not completed, we will stop the physical part of the lesson and finish up with verbal instruction. We have several drills and techniques that we use to teach and if one is not comfortable please make sure you let us know.

We have a technique that we teach for each girl. These techniques can change per student. Talk to your coach if you have been taught something that is uncomfortable to do, we will do whatever it takes to make it simple for everyone.

COST Per Lesson

$25 for 1 hour (if you bring your own catcher to catch)

$30 for 1 hour (if you do not bring a catcher to catch)

$15 for 30 minutes (if you bring your own catcher to catch)

$20 for 30 minutes (if you do not bring a catcher to catch)

FIRST LESSON

At your first lesson you will learn the fundamentals of pitching. You will learn the grip, ball rotation, circle, hip placement, snap, muscle memory and what it takes to be a pitcher. This sounds like a lot but it is broken down over 1 hour.

SECOND LESSON & ETC...

We will go over the snap, circle, hip placement again, while each drill is not taught as in depth as the first lesson unless needed. Each lesson we will watch the drills and correct if needed, and prepare the pitcher for the next step. We teach at a slow steady pace.

FIRST LESSON

At the first lesson we evaluate the student on their current skills. We will then go over proper fundamentals and mechanics. If you are learning to hit, please bring a helmet and a bat, and if you are learning to catch please make sure you bring your catching gear.

SECOND LESSON & ETC...

We will go over everything from the first lesson and add more direction and mechanics as needed. We teach each student at a different pace. Please make sure that you practice at home to get better and better.
