The Pitcher and Catcher Camp will be conducted as one group from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The cost is $125 per session and each session is limited to 25 pitchers and catchers. Each pitcher must either bring a catcher or have a family member catch for them.

Topics covered will include warm-up on game days and practice, conditioning, weight training for advanced pitchers and catchers, how to effectively spin the ball, “Catching 101: Beginning Catchers” (includes framing, blocking, throwing and foul ball work) and “Catching 201: Advanced Catchers” (includes advanced throwing, calling a game, coaching the pitcher and working with umpires).
