Player Development
Our Approach to Development
How do we train our athletes to maximize results?
Long-term development is often lost with travel programs. Training and preparation is usually done with a short-term focus geared toward winning at that moment, rather than a long-term process of development. Our teams and our athletes will always compete to win, but more importantly, your child develops in multiple ways. We don’t care about how many home runs or strikeouts you have at age 12. We want players at 17 and 18 years old in a position to earn a spot on a college roster.
As an organization, our goal is to teach players to learn how to play the game the right way while also developing individual skill sets that best fit the player.
Team Focus
Our team focus operates through a long-term scope built on three things:
- 01 Teaching players the fundamental aspects and elements of the game. We want our players to play hard to win with a solid understanding of game situations and the discipline to execute the fundamentals.
- 02 Creating a repeatable training plan and skill development program players can follow from when they start with us until they graduate.
- 03 Instilling the intangible values and character traits of giving your best Effort, Attitude, and Focus, and the importance of being a good teammate.
Individual Focus
We take great pride in our development plan for individuals. We implement training plans used by college and professional players. Our plans were built by our professional coaches. Some of what to expect:
- › Pre-hitting and throwing activation for proper warmup and game-prep routine building.
- › Scheduled throwing and pitching development routines, including arm care and pitch development.
- › Fielding development systems based on position and the demands of the game.
- › Hitting training that builds complete hitters by improving bat-to-ball, swing mechanics, pitch recognition, swing decisions, and bat speed and power.
We want players to understand what they need to do to get better and what it takes to get there. We want the players who don’t need to be pushed but want to get better. By setting this plan, we aim to develop winners and competitors both in sports and in life.
