1) VELO+ Development Practices (Nov. - Dec.)

VELO+ is now part of the 7th - 8th grade Development practice program. This is a complete mobility and core strength development program (not just for pitchers) that includes mobility exercises, increasing power through learning hip-shoulder separation, post throw/flush recovery, and nightly mobility exercises. Hip and shoulder separation is one of the most important movement patterns for pitchers and hitters. Hip and shoulder separation has a direct correlation with throwing velocity and exit velocity. The Velo+ program is designed to increase your hip shoulder separation, allowing for better truck rotation resulting in increased arm and bat speed. NOTE: There will be very little throwing in November but players will start to throw in early December; remember once January hits, we are only 12 weeks away from games!

These practices will also include hitting, pitching and fielding mechanic work.  We will be using high speed video and Hittrax technology (simulation) allowing players to visualize the adjustments that are needed to achieve a consistent swing and higher exit velos. Players are able to see each swing correction and the immediate effect it has on the hit. This feedback helps the instructor to effectively illustrate what works best for each players skill set.

2) Fall Practice Program for 7th and 8th Graders (Sept. - Oct.) 

​

This small group pitching, fielding, and hitting practices will give the Game Ready staff the ability to break down each individual player's mechanics and analyze them through slow speed video and Hittrax technology. Hittrax gives the player instant feedback and a visual of where and how well he hit the ball. This type of technology helps maximize performance through an engaging and competitive experience. Frame by frame video analysis will also be used during fielding and pitching stations. Slow speed video is a key tool for teaching students quickly and accurately. We will also teach players specific drills they can use to cater to their own individual swing and pitching motion that are crucial in their personal development. These drills will give the player something to take home and work on outside of class.
