Hitters will participate in various hitting stations targeting certain parts of their swing, as well as live batting practice.

The key focus of this clinic is balance and increasing the players bat speed.

Infielders will learn the correct techniques used when fielding ground balls. Players will learn to be soft on their feet, attack the baseball, and have soft hands. Players will work on various defensive plays such as the forehand, backhand, double play turn, double play feed, and the body control play.
