Registration Required. This is a skills clinic in partnership with Fit & Fun located at 3217 N. Broadway, Chicago. The clinic is designed for baseball and softball players from ages 7 to 11 (boys and girls). Take advantage of this opportunity to participate in a high-energy clinic.
Coach Tim’s group training, camps, and clinics are designed to provide age-appropriate baseball instruction, conditioning, and team environment opportunities for athletes. Every session is custom designed to develop the overall skills, game knowledge, and interest in the game of baseball for each attendee. The focus is on having fun, staying safe, and growing as an athlete and as a person. Coach Tim utilizes a positive coaching framework called “double-goal coaching” developed by the Positive Coaching Alliance which prioritizes mental toughness.
The intensity level of each session is based on the age and skill level of the group, goals for the athletes/parents, etc. and is regularly reviewed/evaluated.
