Baseball Catching Clinic: Leadership Behind The Plate
February 24 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Clubhouse Athletics is excited to announce that we will be hosting a catching clinic on February 24th, from 10 am to 12 pm. This clinic is designed to cover the basic skills needed for anyone interested in mastering the catcher’s position.
What Will Be Covered?
Our focus for this session will be on the main catching topics that are necessary for any budding athlete. These include:
Stances primary & secondary:
- Learn the different stances a catcher needs to adopt during the game. We’ll cover both the primary stance (used when there are no runners on base) and the secondary stance (used when there are runners on base).
Throwing footwork:
- Good footwork is essential for a catcher. We’ll teach you the correct footwork for throwing to bases, ensuring you can get the ball where it needs to go quickly and accurately.
Blocking:
- As a catcher, your job is to keep the ball in front of you at all times. We’ll teach you effective techniques for blocking the ball, preventing wild pitches and passed balls.
Framing:
- Framing is the art of making a pitch that might be slightly out of the strike zone appear to be a strike to the umpire. We’ll show you how to master this skill.
Leadership behind the plate:
- The catcher is often considered the leader on the field, directing play and keeping the team focused. We’ll cover the skills needed to be an effective leader on the field.
How Much Does It Cost? This comprehensive clinic costs $75. This includes two hours of intensive training and instruction from experienced coaches.
