What to Expect with a 1-on-1 Basic Skills Lesson

Please arrive a few minutes early to start stretching. Your coach will talk with you before the appointment starts about how baseball is going and if there’s anything that stands out as needing some specific work.

Unless there’s something else specified, First-time lessons will go through a 3-part workout that gives us a chance to help them with ALL their basic skills:

  • Proper catching and throwing fundamentals
  • Basic ground ball and fly ball defense
  • Hitting drills and batting practice

What to bring to a Basic Skills lesson:

  1. All baseball equipment that you would normally bring to a game
  2. Baseball pants are optional (unless you want to learn how to slide!)
  3. Dress for the weather – we may be inside, or outside for the throwing/fielding portion
