RI Thunder Gold-Constantin Hitting Clinic in Lowell on Jan 8, 2013 12:00 AM

We have coached over 30 players that have gone on to play softball at the college level, with 25 of them playing Division 1 on athletic scholarships, and this is how they trained. We are looking to work with a team, or groups of players. This is a 1 hour slot for 10 weeks from 7-8pm at the recently refurbished UMass Lowell Mahoney Gym.The training will consist of multiple hitting stations each week, with 3-5 players per station. The hitting stations are designed to teach the younger player the foundations of a high level swing. The players will progress through the 10 weekly sessions with a graduated approach that will allow them to develop the proper mechanics to take that high level swing to the ball field. Part of this is the development of the mental component of hitting. Learning the proper mental approach to take into the batter?s box on each and every pitch is critical to having success. You can?t control your result, but you can control having a good at-bat! We will also train the players in the art of slapping, and power slapping if you have lefty batters or blazing fast righty?s looking to enhance their skill set. Bunting will also be taught as this is a skill that often is overlooked, but is a critical part of any game strategy.Please call or email for more informationJim Hardy978-500-2632jimbohardy@hotmail.com
