Pitchers & Catchers

Pitchers

This is a kid pitch league and we only have 2 practices before our first game so we really need those who are interested in pitching to practice at home. We'll practice pitching with all the players so everyone should at least understand the fundamentals. Pitching distance will be 45ft. We will not be practicing different types of pitches, only goal will be to get the ball over the plate. Here are some training videos:

Catchers

We'll need at least 2-3 people who want to catch. It's a great position to get action on every play. Catching gear will be provided. Here are some training videos:
