Lisa McGloin’s Softball Catching and Hitting Clinic
 – Sunday mornings February 5, 12, 19, and 26!
 
Hitting:
Getting ready to hit from forty-three feet or still hitting from forty? Timing and hitting mechanics are more important than ever changing distances. Hitting groups will be adjusted to work with both players hitting at forty and forty three feet. Players will do a variety of drills to improve their hitting mechanics as well as hit live off batting machines and front toss. Time will be spent working on how to hit change ups and various pitches. Use of videotape analysis will also be used. Come improve your hitting mechanics so you are prepared for the upcoming season.
 
Catching:
Practice time is usually devoted to improving the skills of pitchers and fielders at most practices. Pitchers spend a great deal of time improving their skills in the off season but little attention is devoted to the art of catching. This portion of the clinic is devoted exclusively to developing the skills of catchers. Various drills will be used to improve the mechanical aspects of catching including blocking, framing pitches and throwing out base runners. Topics will also include fielding bunts, reacting to wild pitches, force and tag outs. Come develop your catching skills and make yourself a better catcher.
 
It is possible to sign up for just hitting, or catching, or both.  Please find an application and more info here.  Participants should be 10+.

The clinics will take place over a 5 week period (we will take 2 weekends off during February Vacation). The clinics start on February 4th, 2012.  You can sign up and pay for John Kelly's clinics on our Registration Site.  The clinics are offered at the following dates and times in the Concord-Carlisle High School lower gym and will include a maximum of 30 participants.
