Catcher Development Class Overview:

 

Prerequites: None

 

Curriculum: The focus of our "Catcher Development Class" is to teach the technical position of catcher and to take any catcher to the next level behind the plate.

 

In our Catcher Development Class we spend the majority of our time executing drills to play the position correctly, but also teach the finer points of the position to increase a players understanding of the position.

 

With a good majority of our Catcher Development Class being dedicated to drill work, this is a class a player can take as many times as liked to stay on top of everything and to continue to develop as a catcher because we will go as fast and push as hard as each individual player is ready for.
