Baseball
Baseball is an incredible team sport to practice critical life skills, including verbal directions, positions on the field (aka their job description), and waiting (skills adults practice daily).
Our baseball curriculum focuses on the three fundamental skills of throwing, fielding, and batting. From week one, athletes will be taught the correct position for throwing and fielding. As the season progresses, those skills will advance, including fielding ground balls (stationary and moving) and catching fly balls with proper glove positioning. Depending on the age division, teams will practice batting with a coach pitching, hit sticks, and tees. Proper hand positioning while batting, in addition to body stance, will be taught.
