Winter Training Registration Is Now Open!!

We have created a great winter training program for players committed to enhancing their skills and development for this upcoming spring and summer. 

 

Workouts will be conducted at the West Orange Armory with Professional Coach Chris Henry. The workouts will focus on player development and will be a curriculum-based Program covering essentials for each age group. 

 

This year, we are excited to offer two separate winter training options held at The Armory and at Dingers. These programs feature different areas of focus to develop players. Players may choose to register for one or both programs. Each training option requires a separate registration. 

 

West Orange Armory (Soccer Palace)

Workouts will have an emphasis on proper throwing, fielding and receiving techniques. Hitting drills and base running will also be a component of the 10-week program. Players will have an opportunity to field and throw at true field/game distances.

Dingers NJ (Maplewood)

Workouts will have an emphasis on hitting drills and live at bats, but will not be exclusive to offense. Players will also be focusing on proper defensive footwork and technique in a smaller group setting, with proper throwing mechanics practiced weekly.

Program details include:

·       Both training options run as independant 10-week programs, with one session per week

·       Professional baseball instructor/coach Chris Henry and his staff of local high school/collegiate coaches and players will conduct the sessions

·       Workouts will consist of conditioning and advanced skill development consistent with the age of the players in each group

·       This will be a curriculum-based and progressive program

·       Enrollment will be limited for each session

·       Cost per player varies based on session/age
