Our Fastpitch Hitting Club will focus on teaching the “absolutes” of hitting. Every great hitter follows some basic fundamentals to maximize power throughout the swing. A strong focus on stance, linear movements, rotation, contact point, extension, and follow through is sure to make your daughter a more confident hitter.
Our Fastpitch Pitching Club is perfect if you are a pitcher looking to keep your skills sharp during the season. This specialized camp will teach your daughter the proper pitching mechanics including grip, motion, arm circle, release, leg-drive, and follow through to throw harder and have better control. Pitchers must bring their own catcher.
