For the past few years MSLL has run a very popular winter baseball training at Parkgate gym. This program consists of 7 sessions on Sunday mornings at 8.15 through January and February. The course is designed for players moving into Rookie Junior or Rookie Senior in the 2016 season.
The course focuses on skills training – throwing, catching, hitting, base running as well as an early introduction to pitching skills.. As the sessions are held indoors we use wiffle balls or “incredi-balls” which are lightweight baseballs. We find the kids really enjoy these sessions and the focus on fundamental baseball skills really helps them moving into the new season.
Our equipment manager Warren Wightman has run this program for the past few years. However, he is unable to take on the full commitment this season due to conflicts with other sports coaching (his own sons are teenagers – and very busy)!
In order to be able to offer the program again this year – we need some coaches to step up and volunteer to lead these sessions. Warren can provide practice plans for each week of the course and will provide support as needed. The more volunteers we have the better – but at minimum we will need 2 coaches who can commit to leading the sessions.
Please contact MSLL President if you are able to help out with these sessions.
