Coaching Staff
Coaching
staff includes current and former professional and collegiate
athletes, who will provide guidance in Baseball Development. Speed
Training: Our focus
during our daily speed training will be to improve speed, agility, and
quickness.We apply age appropriate
development strategies identified for athletes and apply these new
skills in
our sports program over the course of the summer. Speed
training improves speed through greater balance, core stability,
strength, and
fluidity.Exercises, drills, and games
will be used to train the basics of speed on a daily basis at Ultimate
Summer. The
importance of Speed Training in the context of athletic growth is that
it helps
the child develop as a strong, healthy, coordinated individual.This strong, healthy, coordinated individual
will have greater success in sports, at play, and in other lifetime
pursuits.If the child decides to
challenge him/herself later as an elite athlete, this speed training
provides a
strong base for all future sports endeavours. Team ALCAN
will divide up into age groups for this part of the program. Strength Training Our focus
during daily strength training will be to introduce the child to
strength
training with the emphasis on proper technique and safety. Strength training (not weightlifting) is
beneficial for all ages and aims to:
improve
strength and endurance
protect
muscles and joints from injury
improve
performance in sports
overall
health benefits including: strong bones, boosted metabolism, improved
immune
system and boost in self esteem
Strength
training for this age group utilizes the child's own body weight, along
with
medicine balls and resistance bands to promote balanced development and
growth.We will also describe the
anatomy and physiology of the human body and give suggestions for
continued strength
training at home. We aim to
build a foundation for strength training for the child to progress
through a
lifetime of good health and achievement. Team ALCAN
will divide up into age groups for this part of the program. BASEBALL SKILL DEVELOPMENT Our focus is to emphasize skill
development. This will be a small group activity with
focus on instruction in correct form and repetitions for individual
skills. Repetitions with Guidance.
Offensive Skills will focus on
Hitting for the Developmental Group, and ALCAN Prospects. In
addition, emphasis will be placed on Pitching and Throwing
programs. Prospect Players may also have more Individual programs
established as we work towards their goals. ALCAN
