Junior Bat Speed Program-

Objective:

Our Bat Speed Hitting Program was developed to train the body to perform the correct rotational mechanics during the batting process. The Junior Bat Speed is for athletes ages 10-13. There is nothing more frustrating than struggling at the plate. Therefore, the number one objective is to get the player more at ease and confident when batting. Slammers Strength will help the athlete to perform at their peak power and batting speed all season long. Not only do our programs focus on the torque and rotational mechanics, but we also focus on actually hitting the ball. Reaction timing drills, tracking the ball, and hand-eye coordination are a must for big hitters.

How it works:

The 2 day per week (2 day per week for Junior) program includes a comprehensive age-specific resistance program. Strength training will be included to develop speed and power, focusing on the core muscles, back region and auxiliary muscles all used when coiling and uncoiling during a bat swing. Several swinging drills are incorporated in order to increase hitting ability, and ensure proper mechanics. Poor visual skills & delayed reaction time can limit an athlete�s ability to hit. The most important visual skill is the ability to track the ball. This entails conditioning the eyes to remain focused on an object while it moves toward you. Reaction time (the time between stimulus and beginning of response) is quickened in the Slammers Strength Bat Speed Program by training drills that the pros use.

Program Includes:

An assessment of each athletes rotation, health and preparedness for successful participation in the program, a video analysis of batting mechanics, an advanced state-of-the-art batting-specific strength program, swinging routines to build strength, power, speed, balance and flexibility, training drills to develop reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and tracking the ball.

Measured Performance:

Bat Velocity and ball tracking accuracy are regularly measured and documented to provide objective feedback and ensure program success. Participants will also have three video analysis sessions throughout the training program.

When:

Slammers takes into consideration the special demands placed on the body during the batting motion, while giving careful consideration to the developing structures of the pre-adolescent. Both programs are limited to the first 25 participants. Junior Bat Speed program from 11/08/2010 -02/07/2011

7:00 to 8:00 p.m. Sessions may take up to 1 1/2 hrs to complete. Due to the overwhelming response to our programs, participants must come to their assigned time slot. In order to keep a high quality of instruction, Slammers has decided that make-up session must be scheduled with an instructor. In order to maintain the integrity of our programs, students may not make up any part of the training without supervision. Notice the schedule changes throughout the program to allow for the ending and restart of the school year.
