Pitching

Objective

The goal of this program is to better develop pitching in the age groups of 8-14.  The program will provide girls the opportunity to participate in free, 1-hr clinics, once a week during which they will be introduced to the fundamentals of pitching.

Randy Geehr, Molly Manning (local area “phenom” pitcher) and Amanda Smith will be overseeing the program.  The objective of this program is to better develop pitching in the 10U and 12U brackets, which should automatically translate to improvement at 14U in the foreseeable future.

Clinic Format

The clinics will be both a parent tutorial and child practice format. Parent attendance is MANDATORY.  The clinics will focus on child development of pitching drills and parent development of coaching their children in their pitching development.  The once per week clinics should be then supported by parent/child practice 2-3 times per week at home (30-minute sessions). Clinics should last no more than one hour.

When

Clinics are usually held on Mondays, from 6:00-8:00 PM.  This time may be changed once the season begins. See Upcoming Events on the Home page for exact dates and times.

Equipment Needed

This is a free clinic, but parents are asked to bring several items.  They include:

1. A 5-gallon bucket with lid (or stool) to sit on

2. 6-12 softballs (11-inch for 8U & 10U, and 12-inch for 12U)
   Put your daughter's initials on the balls to keep track of them.

3. Gloves (one for pitcher and one for parent catcher)

4. A small white towel or other object to simulate home plate

5. Water/Gatorade...
