Parent, Coach and Player Development Series
Oak Hill is excited to offer a training and development program for our Parents, Coaches and Players this fall. New Coaches and parents are required to attend the September 13 Positive Coaching Alliance Event. We encourage all Coaches and Parents to attend the Coaching sessions.
Catching Meet Up
Baseball & Softball Catching “meet up” for Catchers and their Parents and Coaches
Location: Oak Hill Complex
Field: Pony
Date: February, 13 from 11am – 12pm at the Pony field.
Catchers “meet up” out at Oak Hill. A free clinic for Oak Hill coaches and the parent(s) of a catcher. The format is for Andrew and his coaching assistants, and several of the high school catchers they train to “meet up” at the ball park for a workout. They will guide the session and walk coaches and parents of catchers through catching skills and drills.
This isn’t a “camp”. Rather, it is a meet-up to empower youth coaches and youth parents to coach their player. They will be working with their kid, mimicking what he is doing; executing the drills with their catcher. Its not a drop-my-kid-off camp; it’s a join your kid for a player development session hosted by Catcher Corps (Andrew’s company dedicated to empowering the next generation of catchers). Each catcher (or two) must be accompanied by an adult.
Andrew is on a mission to #MakeLittleLeagueGreatAgain.
Suggested “what to bring” but not required:
- Catchers gear
- Catchers mitt
- Throw down home plate or something that can serve as a home plate
- Six baseballs
- Six tennis balls and/or whiffle balls
Softball clinics
We have two options for pitching lessons this season.
Our bi-weekly softball pitching lessons by Coach Elizabeth Price will start on Saturday, 2/13 at the softball annex. Coach Randy will start Tuesday evenings on 2/16. Players interested in learning how to pitch or looking for pitching feedback are welcome to attend our group lessons. Catchers looking for extra practice receiving are free to attend.
We highly encourage any 8U players that might be interested to attend. Pitching is a very important skill to have when moving up to 10U. It’s never too early to learn.
When: Saturday mornings 9am, bi-weekly & Tuesday evenings at 7pm, weekly
Where: OHYSA softball annex
Open to: Softball Players 8U and up
RSVP: Here (you can show up but rsvp would be helpful) for Saturdays
Fee: $10 paid to Coach at the event start – cash (venmo for Saturday lessons @ebruns)
You MUST bring a catcher.
Elizabeth Price is a 2013 Aggie Grad who has been coaching pitching for 6+ years. She has been training with Tincher Pitching Development Systems for the last 4 of those years and loves getting to share what she knows with girls who want to better their skills.
