Are you looking to develop your daughter’s softball game to its fullest potential? Then Bert & Holly Harris’ clinic is the place to be. They will be running an offseason clinic every Saturday at Pickering High School in Ajax starting Saturday, October 24th, 2015 to Saturday, April 23rd 2016. The clinic will be broken down into 4 one hour segments. The following is the anticipated format of the clinic:
10:00am-11:00am (New gym) ~ 12U = Conditioning / 12 years old + older = Defensive work
11:00am-12:00pm (New gym) ~ 12 years old + older = Conditioning / 12U = Defensive work
12:00pm-1:00pm (Old gym) ~ Hitting (all age groups)
1:00pm-2:00pm (New gym) ~ Pitching/Catching (all age groups) *Pitchers must supply their own catcher (with gear if need be)
Setting an intention/focus on:
Conditioning: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, agility/fast footwork/mobility, balance, power, flexibility, core training, plyometrics, etc.
Defensive work: positioning, footwork, throwing mechanics, situational strategy, cut-offs, communication, coverage, double plays, fielding bunts, etc.
Hitting: circuit formation and chalk talk incorporating drills to refine skills in plate approach (mentality and designing a routine), learning about pitch count, hitting the ball where it’s pitched (inside/outside pitches), building bat speed, sound hitting/slapping/bunting mechanics (breaking down the swing and progressing the fundamentals using high repetitions within a circuit), etc.
Pitching/Catching:
Pitchers ~ working to develop a mentally and physically strong pitcher (not thrower) by teaching correct mechanics that stress the importance of a confident and fit pitcher (spins, consistent mechanics with speed/power and location, pitching to batters, working the count, various movement pitches, building speed and endurance, etc.
Catchers ~ fundamental skills/mechanics (receiving/framing, blocking, footwork, throwing mechanics from knees and standing, fielding bunts, drop 3rd strikes), situational mindset, vocal leadership (communication), physical quickness and strength
Cost: $40 regardless if you attend 1 hour or all 4 hours
Location: Pickering High School
180 Church Street North
Ajax, ON
