CAMPS

This summer will be instrumental in establishing the right culture of player development for the rest of the offseason as we progress to the fall, winter, and next spring. Our big picture view is that we need to establish a solid foundation. We first must ingrain proper movement patterns. Our ability to move governs our potential to get stronger and better. Solid movement patterns allow us to transition to developing strength and power. With adequate levels of strength and power, we can then develop sport specific skills (i.e., hitting, throwing, running, etc.).

Take a realistic view of your current abilities and compare them to both time-specific and general goals. Don’t just wait to “grow” into your body, grow into more power, grow into velocity. Develop it. If your current abilities don’t match your goals and/or you’re not yet at a level to get recruited, then the summer is the perfect time to improve and develop as a player. Training at CCA this summer will consist of:

•Hitting
•Ongoing swing assessment using Blast Motion bat sensors
•Exit velocity testing
•Individualized hitting programs using Driveline overload and underload bats
•At-bats against live pitching and high-speed pitching machines
•High quality video that can be used for recruiting videos for coaches
•Competitive environment
