● Specialized training during team sessions
o Defensively – utilizing position specific instructors, group girls by position and work with girls from all age groups together (developing positional skill sets, while promoting organizational comradery and mentorship)
o Offensively – in addition to batting, focus on specific skills as well - power hitting, contact skills, slapping and short game focus, all with skill specific instructors for the athletes to benefit from.
