Baseball & Softball Clinics - Future Gold Glovers: Throwing & Defense
Every great play starts with a great throw! This clinic focuses on one of the most important—and most overlooked—skills in baseball and softball: throwing with proper form and purpose. Players will learn correct mechanics and work through fun, focused drills that build strength, accuracy, and consistency.
We’ll also spend time on defensive fundamentals, including infield and outfield techniques, glove work, footwork, and body positioning. Athletes will gain confidence fielding balls cleanly, making strong throws, and understanding how it all connects to pitching down the road.
Perfect for players who want to take their defense to the next level and start building Gold Glove habits early!
