MPRA is hostinghosting the Doyle Academy baseball/softball school on March 15-17 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for area kids ages 5 through 15.  The teachers at Doyle are some of the most highly regarded in the game and this school is a GREAT opportunity to get your player off on the right foot for the 2010 season.  The kind of instruction your child receives is commonly $35 - $70 an hour but for this school, the quality training is only $110 for those who sign up by Mar 7.

There are three options - 3 days, 2 days or 1 day. 

No prior baseball/softball experience is required.  The Doyle teachers are used to working with kids playing for the first time all the way up to professionals.  They understand the basics of the game at every level and tailor the information to the student and his/her level of understanding.  Students for the school will be sectioned off by age level and material will be easy to understand and age appropriate.  Doyle teaches the basic fundamentals that every player needs and they throw in some lessons on sportsmanship, citizenship, and core values.  This program is ideal for the players in the league.  What better way to get started than to come out and learn from professional trainers the right way to play the game.  The Doyle systems are easy to learn and easy to remember.  Parents are welcome to stay and watch, take notes, or video.  When you learn the right ways to do things, it’s easier to help your children later; so parents are encouraged to attend.  You’ll love what you see.
