2025 Pitchers + Catchers Workshop Series
2025 Pitchers + Catchers Workshop Series for Coaches and Athletes
This specialized Pitching & Catching Workshop Series is designed for girls youth softball athletes and coaches, focusing on the foundational skills necessary for mastering two of the most critical positions on the field. Whether you’re a pitcher, catcher, or coach, this series offers a comprehensive approach to building fundamental techniques and creating a strong team dynamic from both the athlete’s and coach’s perspective.
ATHLETES
This hands-on workshop series gives pitchers and catchers the tools and techniques they need to excel individually while building essential on-field chemistry with their teammates.
Foundations of Pitching
Athletes will work on proper mechanics, grip techniques, and pitch selection. Sessions will cover everything from wind-ups and delivery to refining speed, accuracy, and movement on the ball. Emphasis is placed on consistency, confidence, and developing the mental toughness needed to perform under pressure.
Foundations of Catching
Catchers will focus on improving their receiving skills, framing pitches, blocking, and throwing to bases. Workshops will include drills that enhance reaction time, communication, and the ability to guide pitchers through various game situations.
COACHES
This series will provide coaches with valuable tools to teach and develop their pitchers and catchers effectively. Coaches will gain insights into:
Teaching the Foundations of Pitching
Learn the key fundamentals of pitching, including proper body alignment, arm path, and release points. Coaches will also explore how to identify and correct common mistakes in young pitchers and help them build a sustainable pitching form that reduces injury risk.
Catchers' Role in Game Strategy
Understanding the catcher’s influence on both the pitcher and the game is crucial. Coaches will learn how to help catchers read batters, call pitches, manage pitchers' emotions, and communicate effectively during critical moments.
Building Strong Coach-Athlete Relationships
Coaches will discover strategies to build trust, boost confidence, and encourage growth in young pitchers and catchers. Emphasis is placed on positive reinforcement, constructive feedback, and creating a supportive learning environment.
Drills & Progressions
Coaches will learn a variety of drills and progressions for both pitchers and catchers that will allow them to structure effective practice sessions, focusing on both individual skills and team dynamics.
This series creates a balanced, collaborative learning environment where both athletes and coaches come away with practical, actionable tools to elevate their performance. By focusing on the foundations from both perspectives, we ensure that the players develop a strong technical base, and coaches are equipped with the knowledge to guide them every step of the way.
Whether you're a coach seeking to improve your pitching/catching instruction or an athlete aiming to enhance your skills and game-day performance, this workshop series provides a comprehensive foundation for success.
