Like any other educational process, learning to play baseball is no different. The game of baseball involves individual skill enhancement taught in a team environment emphasizing offensive and defensive responsibilities by each player. At the LVBA clinics/camps parents and players are made aware of the fact that the development process has two phases - mental and physical.
Players are taught, by the LVBA staff, about the importance of positioning and movements and how it impacts success. The learning process is further enhanced by providing students key terms that describes these positions and movements. With an understanding of terms, drills are then repeatedly practiced so that the physical side of the development process can occur.
Students are then encouraged to keep a notebook of all the terms and to practice all new skills they have learned throughout the program and beyond the length of the program. Thus, a sense of consistency and discipline are developed.
Parents can expect to see players have an increased confidence, better performance and a new enthusiasm for the game.
In all clinics and camps students are grouped first by age and then by ability. All levels of ability are welcome from beginner to advanced. If a student possesses above average ability, those students may be invited to advanced training programs or asked to play for an LVBA team which participates in local and travel tournaments. |
