We are excited to announce a weekly Wednesday Baseball Clinic with Coach Reece (former D1 player for UIC where he was a three-year team captain) that will run for 6 weeks 4:30-5:30pm starting October 28 (no session Wednesday November 25) for players 9-12 years old.

Players will develop their fundamentals through instruction, demonstrations, and skill-building drills focused on hitting, fielding, throwing, and arm care.

Across the six weeks, players will work on:

⚾ Hitting: Stance, balance, grip, swing mechanics, and making consistent contact.

👋 Fielding: Ready position, footwork, glove work, fielding ground balls, and making clean transfers.

💨 Throwing: Proper throwing mechanics, accuracy, and building sound throwing habits.

💪 Arm care: Warm-up and mobility exercises, preparing the arm to throw, and healthy recovery habits.

Coach Reece will guide players through practice and offer pointers to help them strengthen their skills and build confidence on the field.

⚾️ Want to throw harder? Start with connection.

Young pitchers need to learn how their legs, hips, core, and arm work together — not just how to throw with their arm.

Better connection = ⚡ Better sequencing
Better sequencing = 💨 More efficient velocity
Better mechanics = 🎯 More consistency

Build it right. Throw it right.
