VIP athletes have access to the facility during the off-season at a discounted rate of 50% off. 

Program Details

Program Length: 15 weeks starting October 31st, 2023-February 11th, 2024. 

Training Breakdown:
Weeks 1-5 Movement Phase: The focus will be on movement, mechanics, stability, mobility, and learning the correct lifting form. Player's will work on areas described in the movement and throwing analysis and each player will focus on his individual improvement plan. Players will ramp-up the throwing volume and this will vary based on each player's workload during the summer and fall. Players will study video, learn plyoball drills, focus on arm care and recovery, and throw medicine balls to build strength.

Weeks 6-10: Velocity Phase: Players who successfully complete the Movement Phase will advance to the Velocity Phase. Players who are still addressing movement or mechanical issues will remain in the movement phase. In this phase, players will ramp up their throwing intensity, begin long toss and/or pulldowns, and some players may throw overload and underload weighted baseballs*. Players will begin transitioning to the mound during this phase. Video will also be used to monitor movement and mechanical improvements.  

*specific training protocols will vary by player. This will be discussed during the summer/fall throwing and movement evaluation and screening. For example, the throwing plan for an 18-year-old D1 commit will be very different than a 14-year-old player who is in his first year of the program.

Weeks 11-15: Pitch Design Phase: Players will transition fully to the mound and will focus on specific pitching skills. Players will throw using the Rapsodo and Insight Camera system. Catchers will catch bullpens and live hitters will be added towards the end of this phase. Players will focus on command, off-speed pitches, pitch selection and execution, pitch calling, and more.

All players will complete an individualized and rigorous strength program beginning in week 1. This program will also work in phases.
