Last week we rounded out our summer programs with a Catching Fundamentals + SAPS Mini-Camp.
SAPS is our Speed, Agility, Power & Strength training. Athleticism is a foundation for skill development and expression, and we want to hit on every aspect required to become an excellent catcher.
We work on stances, receiving, blocking, throwing, and fielding the position. We integrate situational understanding and teach them how to train their bodies to become strong and resilient.
We hope to show them how to go above and beyond — how they step out onto the field, how they show up as a teammate, how they remain coachable, how they develop a calm, controlled sense of tenacity, and how they can maximize their practice time.
This isn’t all done explicitly — it’s done through modeling, and through holding a standard and high expectation for how we train as a group. Our groups have a team-like dynamic that layers in a training atmosphere, which is itself a variable that impacts their improvement.
Encouragement, healthy and high expectations, others going through it alongside you, energy, guidance, and drills that let them explore and figure things out on their own — these are a few of the elements we believe create a fantastic recipe for enjoyment, achievement, and a foundation for long-term improvement.
