Coach Holbrook Winter Training Program for Travel Players
Weekly Clinic Combined Individual Lessons

This unique Travel Level training experience combines individualized training through private instruction with group training on larger scale aspects of the game. Together, it provides a powerful package that will have each player ready from the first pitch of the season on. This allows for each player to learn a concept or technique, as they would in a team setting and then get the individualized time needed to fully grasp what is being taught. This concept correlates very closely with a teacher and class and a tutor and a student. While you may be taught something by the teacher, you may not understand it fully till you get the individual attention. Each group session will focus on skills specific for travel players. Double play feeds and turns, hitting/butting and successfully running bases and throwing and fielding techniques that help with increased accuracy and consistency plus live pitching and hitting. Coach Holbrook or one of the other group instructors will also meet with each player for eight individual 30 minute private lessons to focus in on what each player specifically needs to work on. The group session will meet on the same day and time each week. The private lessons can be scheduled based on your schedule. Early registrations have the best chance on working with Coach Holbrook for the individual lessons.

Limited to 15 players, no exceptions.
