US BASEBALL ACADEMY OPENS CHULA VISTA LOCATION

At U.S. Baseball Academy, young players can enjoy a real Spring Training experience without leaving California. U.S. Baseball Academy, which operates a national network of affordable hitting, pitching and catchers camps for players in grades 1 through 12, is pleased to announce the addition of Bonita Vista High School to its lineup for the coming winter and spring. Registration is now under way at www.USBaseballAcademy.com.

U.S. Baseball Academy's Spring Training 2010 is a unique concept that provides young players with advanced hitting, pitching and catching training programs and instruction by the area's top high school and college coaches. The training sessions include six weeks of instruction for as low as $99. U.S. Baseball Academy's 2010 Spring Training program will be held at nearly 125 sites across the United States. The session in Chula Vista runs January 10 to February 14 at Bonita Vista High School. Bonita Vista Head Coach Vincent Gervais will direct the program. Instructors will include a staff of the area’s top high school and college coaches. With a player-coach ratio of 6 to 1, each player gets plenty of individual attention in a small-group atmosphere. In addition to unbeatable instruction by the area's best high school and college coaches, players get a preseason tune-up that helps them enter team practice in mid-season form. With numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is specially tailored for each ability level. Overall, it's the type of intense, professional instruction young players just can't get in a summer league.

Since 1988, U.S. Baseball Academy has run hundreds of camps and clinics for thousands of players nationwide. Each week, hitters rotate through a series of supervised stations, with each drill designed to teach a different aspect of hitting. Players enjoy participating in hitting games and unique stations used by top high school and college programs. The program is designed to improve pitch and strike zone recognition, timing, balance, power, situational hitting, bunting, and other aspects. Pitchers work under the supervision of coaches who can help with all aspects of pitching, from fundamentals and mechanics to more advanced concepts. Drills and repetition will improve a pitcher's speed and control. Our catcher's camp covers all aspects of being behind the plate. Players will get instruction on stance, signs, receiving, framing, blocking, throwing, fielding bunts, tags and the mental aspects of dealing with pitchers. Registration deadlines are approximately six weeks before each session begins, but last year's camps sold out much earlier. Because of the low player-coach ratio, spots in each session are limited. Complete details and times for each site, as well as registration forms, are available online at www.USBaseballAcademy.com or by phoning toll free 866-622-4487.

Stay Golden with Good Sportsmanship
GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
By Tim Hopkins

•It’s knowing that the best team doesn’t always win, but the team that plays the best that day, always does.
•It’s knowing that it’s OK to lose, strike out, make an error or get shelled (as long as you learn from it).
•It’s putting your arm around a teammate that had a bad game (or didn’t get in) and sharing a similar past experience.
•It’s leading by effort.
•It’s dodging the credit and limelight occasionally.
•It’s other people talking about how good you are.
•It’s when you beat another team and they still talk highly of you.
•It’s when umpires and other teams are happy to see you succeed.
•It’s respecting everyone.
•It’s delivering a hard, clean hit on a running back and then helping him up.
•It’s calling a two shot penalty on yourself.
•It’s sincerely shaking hands with the umpires after the game that they cost you.
•It’s keeping your composure when you are pitching a no hitter.
•It’s keeping your composure when you are getting shelled and walking batters.
•It’s reminding yourself to stay positive when you realize your team is about to lose.
•It’s showing class regardless of the outcome of the game.
•It’s business as usual after making another great play.
•It’s a conscious effort not to show someone up.
•It’s never making excuses or blaming coaches, teammates, the mound, umpires, the ball, fans, etc, even if it’s their fault.
•It’s the joy of competing, not just winning.
•It’s just after the Army Navy football game.
•It’s a youth coach that provides his discipline in a fair and consistent manner.
•It’s a youth coach that provides constructive criticism through positive reinforcement.
•It’s never criticizing, complaining or condemning.
•It’s an attitude of “I will just have to give a little bit more” since my teammate committed a costly error.
•It’s feeling great after playing well and beating a better team 2-1.
•It’s feeling great after playing well and losing to a better team 2-1.
•It’s what you can give to your team, not what your team can give to you.
•It’s NOT John Rocker, Randy Moss, Dennis Rodman, Mike Tyson, or WWF Smack Down Wrestling.

    The Importance of the J-Bands
    J-Bands
    Do You Use It?

    The arm is the most important tool for every ball player. 21st century technology has revolutionized the arm prep for action (practices and games). Today's players are smart to make the "pre-hab" workout a part of their everyday prep. Its better to pre-hab than it is to re-hab on the disbaled list. Barons Baseball legend Joel Zumaya adopted and endorces the Jaeger methods.

    Baseball trainer Alan Jaeger explains how to build arm health, strength, velocity, endurance and improved recovery period through the Jaeger Sports throwing program. This video addresses the main ingredients to the program including arm circles, a workout with J-Bands surgical tubing, long toss throwing and post-throwing conditioning.

    For more information visit www.jaegersports.com

    Surgical tubing is available for purchase through coach Gervais ($25) or from the Jaeger Sports web site.
