US Baseball Academy -- Marks its Third Year with Barons Baseball
|
At this U.S. Baseball Academy Spring Training, players learn from some of the area’s top high school coaches. Hitting, fielding/baserunning and catcher sessions are offered through grade 12. Pitching sessions (baseball only) are offered for grades 1 through 8.
This is not a lecture clinic. With a low player-coach ratio, each hitter and pitcher gets individual attention in a small-group atmosphere for one hour per week. An average hitting session includes about 30 players with six or seven experienced and professionally trained coaches. Pitching and catching sessions have smaller numbers and the same player-coach ratio. And with numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is specially tailored for each ability level.
Overall, it’s the type of intense, professional instruction that young players don’t normally have access to especially in the South Bay area.
