USA Olympian Amanda Freed Conducts Clinic at SLBFA!
NPF Professional Player, USA Olympian, All-American from UCLA, and two time California High School Player of the year, Amanda Freed, hosted a Charitable Advanced Skills Softball Clinic at the St. Louis Baseball and Fastpitch Academy on February 10th and it was AWESOME!
Amanda is one of America's most versatile, all-around skilled softball players (excellent Pitcher, fleet-footed outfielder with cannon arm, and an exceptional line-drive hitter and aggressive base-runner).
Topics Amanda covered were: Basic softball mechanics at every position, Strength and Conditioning, Dedication, Balanced Training, Teamwork, Positive Attitude, Heart and Hustle! Her pitching demonstration was amazing!
Amanda is a fabulous Christian role-model and ended up conducting this clinic for free as a contribution to the St. Patrick's Center.
A BIG thanks to Dan Buck for making this happen!

A new 10' X 10' wall mural was recently finished at the Academy and has been a BIG conversation piece. A big thanks to Mr. Larry Parent, the artist, his is a dying breed. There are very few artists who still do what he does. Come in and take a look at this great piece of artwork!

What's Your SPARQ Rating?
WHAT IS SPARQ?
SPARQ stands for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness. SPARQ is committed to helping athletes improve these five aspects of their athletic ability in order to take their game to that next level.
I am convinced that in the future college bound athletes should be tested and be able to back up everything that they show on their resume. SPARQ training does just that. SPEEDBOOSTERS is the only company in the St. Louis area that provides this new service. Professional scouts and college coaches are increasingly using the SPARQ Rating as another indicator of a prospect's overall potential. - JIM GREINER
