Open Turf Days Before Tryouts
Parents,
As we prepare for our upcoming tryouts next week, our coaching staff would like to give players an opportunity to get outside and get some work in beforehand. This Thursday and Friday, we will be hosting “Open Turf” days.
During these sessions, players will focus on baseball-specific skills and movements. They will stretch, throw, and run through basic drills related to baseball. The entire session is player lead. Please note that there will be no hitting on either day.
While attendance is recommended, we understand that schedules can be busy, so participation is not mandatory.
We look forward to seeing the players who are able to attend!
