Canton Little League is pleased to offer a 10-week, 1½ hour per week, instructional baseball clinic for the low cost of $100 for the entire 10 week program!
We encourage all of our young athletes, between the ages of 6 and 12, to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to get ready for the spring season.
The 9-12 year old clinics provide the skills and proper repetitions necessary to compete at a higher level, with more confidence, and a better understanding of the game.
The 6-8 year old clinics establish the fundamental skills of gripping and throwing the baseball as well as proper fielding and hitting mechanics. These are skills your young player will continue to develop throughout their little league career and beyond. (Parent involvement promotes proper technique and is strongly encouraged, particularly at this age level).
The program will be held Sunday afternoons at TJO Sports, 5 Carver Circle beginning: Sunday, January 5th, 2020 through Sunday, March 22nd, 2020 (no clinics on Feb. 2nd and Feb. 16th).
The clinic will run from 3:30-5:00 pm.
The clinics are designed to focus on the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing and running. The instructors will work with the higher age levels on the finer points of the game in the latter weeks:
Pitchers: How to present themselves on the mound and adjust to the varying mechanics of pitching vs. throwing.
Fielders: Pre-pitch preparation: "If I get the ball, what do I do with it."
Hitters: On deck batter - timing the pitcher, observing the pitcher to understand his tendency’s and what you may face at-bat. Hitting off-speed pitches and the outside fastball.
Base Running: Proper positioning, how to read a ball hit in the dirt, picking up base coaches on base paths and proper base-running techniques.
Payments by credit card only please. Unpaid registrations will be deleted. Canton residents only. Please register on the website.
