A fun training method for youth baseball players throughout a full calendar year. The following will be included – access to our coaching staff, throwing, hitting, pitching, fielding, strength and conditioning, recovery and more. Players will have access to a program that will update with drills, throwing and hitting protocols, a throwing equation to ensure recovery, S&C in and off season. Remotely they will have access to our coaches and can expect a response time within 24-48 hours. Learning how to have FUN through learning proper mechanics and actions. In order to address each athlete individually we will start with our assessment process.
The assessment process includes the following:
What players and parents do not fully understand is proper coaching, appropriate rest and recovery protocols, strength and conditioning in season and out of season. The main goal for this program is to create a one stop shop for all facets of training-to not only educate the kids, but coaches and parents alike. The plan is to break this up into 4 periods.
Spring
Feb-May: most youth athletes begin playing in the spring with tryouts in early February. Most of our players will be participating in their prospective little league programs. The goal during this period is to balance the workload, improve skills and learning, mental approach to the game, etc. tune ups in house are optional as our throwing equation will dictate workload.
Summer
May-August: The summer we see many teams begin all stars and or travel ball. For us we need to find the correct balance between being a kid and playing the sport. This phase is again balancing workload but also giving time for the kids to have FUN in other aspects of life. Deload and mandatory time off to make sure burn out is not happening.
Fall
August-November: School has begun. We have to be aware of added work, early morning wake up calls, and fall ball (if applicable). Most parents and coaches treat fall very differently and this is where it’s important for us to preach development, other sports movements, and more. This will lead us into the winter where true development and training can begin. We must treat this as an “on ramp” for the winter to begin more on the development side.
Winter
November-February: School is in session and this is where the players do not have to be on organized teams. Some orgs will have “showcases” when not knowing if there’s any proper ramp up, risking potential injuries. We must be aware of this beforehand. Scheduling with the parents so we can appropriately build the kids up SAFELY to be prepared for any winter showcase. We also have to keep in mind spring is around the corner. The main focus for these kids at this time is DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH, SKILL ACQUISITION AND PREPARATION FOR SPRING.
Players will have access to 2 total lessons for no added cost with Max Schrock and a Pitching instructor (one each). As well as one date dedicated to interacting with fellow athletes-which will be blocked off for 1.5 hours for a group practice. Younger athletes will be able to participate in throwing, hitting, S&C and a fun game at the end. Any added lessons will be at 75 dollar rate. Parents and coaches will have access to our ***Workload Monitor***. This is a unique algorithm that we have developed in house to measure overall workload and stress on our athletes. This will give our players the best chance to stay healthy.
We offer a REMOTE OPTION for those that cannot come into Raleigh or wish to only work virtually. All of the same stands, remote pricing will be $199 per month. Any lesson will be $75 and the option to come in for “Team” practice is included. Communication IS key, with access to a FaceTime meeting with one of our coaches once every two weeks.
We offer private lessons and in depth long term training programs. We look forward to welcoming you to the 8ctane Baseball family. Lets unlock your full potential!
