Splinters Baseball for Teams and Leagues
As part of our mission of “Improving Communities through Baseball” we want to work with large groups or players and offer many incentives to team and leagues to encourage more participation. Baseball itself provides very dynamic opportunities for personal growth and developmental skills that transcend baseball. In our large scale programs directed at teams and leagues Splinters cultivates leadership and peer mentorship opportunities to show players how big of an impact on other lives.
Are you a first year coach wondering what to teach your players? Are you moving up a level and unsure how to adjust to a higher talent level? Are you coaching your son or daughter and having trouble achieving a balance between coach and player? maybe your a league board member wondering how to make your league more competetive come tournament time. Splinters Baseball has you covered.
For Leagues
It is one of our strongest intentions to build a strong relationship with your league. Splinters instructors have become frequent attendees of local parks and practice fields to build this relationship. We offer a variety of our programs to increase the baseball knowledge of your league as well as Community improvement activities to improve the “feel” of your league. Contact Splinters to see what programs and formats would be the best service to your leagues players and budget.
For Teams
Since 2008, Splinters has expanded our team wide packages to include various age levels and parts of the game. Our popular team hitting programs had a team last year post a collective .390 batting average at the Junior level (13-14yr olds). That’s a whole team that hit close to .400!!!! In the summer, a travel team with our pitching program threw multiple shutouts, including 2 no hitters. The point is, Our programs get results.
Splinters Baseball'spurpose is to make this game more enjoyable for the players, the coaches and the parents. We achieve this by teaching them fundamentals that will elevate their current skill set. It is amazing how much more players and parents enjoy the game, when they see success with regularity. We also cultivate the team dynamic by teaching players positive peer coaching techniques that increase communication and enhance relationships.
Please see the related information below on each team package we currently have. If you want us to create a new one for your team, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss that with you. Also be sure to see our current promotion at the bottom of this email.
Splinters Team Hitting Program, Better results, with more fun
Splinters hitting programs take your practice time to cultivate better hitters in a direct, systematic approach. Each of the last 3 years, teams with this program have won their league at the majors level.
We provide the framework for players to be able to develop powerful swings that increase the contact. These fast paced sessions go through rotational hitting mechanics, vision training and developing the mind of a successful hitter.
Team Arm Strengthening Program, Powered by Jaeger
To keep the throwing arm strong and healthy through the rigors of a season just got a whole lot easier. Splinters baseball has a strong passion for helping players reduce the risk of injury and build strong arms.
Keep in mind that your child’ sarm DOES NOT have to hurt at the end of the season. It SHOULD be at its strongest point come tournament time.
With our team Arm strengthening programs we will work with your players each week as a benchmark and give you the tools to maintain healthy arms through their playing career.
Make arm fatigue a thing of the past. This program is recommended for players of all ages, baseball and softball. With younger teams, we will spend more time on proper throwing mechanics as well.
Splinters Team Pitching Program, Splinters Baseball as a team pitching coach
The guidelines for our pitching programs are simple, to make the pitcher more athletic. We achieve this through pitcher specific stretching, isolation drills and mental training.
Splinters pitching programs help players create an easy to duplicate delivery that will be unique to their body type and athletic composition. By that, Splinters pitching drills consist of universal techniques that will unlock potential for every pitcher. Our drills are not designed to get each pitcher to throw the same way or even have the same basic mechanics.
Depending on age group and desires of coaches/ parents we can also teach players how to throw specific pitches. This will vary on pitchers athletic make up and current skill set. Splinters Baseball does not have a personal preference when it comes to specific pitches. We understand that each pitcher is unique and encourage players to find out what pitches work for them and their skill set. All throwing work done in Splinters team Pitching Programs will be done on flat ground.
