BASEBALL INTITUTE

Medicine Hat High School is taking baseball to the classroom as it enters its 4th year with the Medicine Hat High School Baseball Institute.

Our program is an opportunity for kids to really develop their skills on the field while also having the chance to take part in other extra curricular activities. The Baseball Institute is a big proponent of having multi-sport athletes. Students that enroll in the class will have Baseball for 2 periods during the school day. This allows our athletes to also participate in football, basketball, volleyball or any other activity after school hours. The classroom component will focus on allowing athletes to see the game from a different perspective while becoming active members of their community. Modules such as coaching, nutrition, weight training and leadership will be part of the classroom. Our belief and desire is to build better athletes as well and better citizens.

The Institute is also open to female students with a knack for the diamond. While preference will be given to players with baseball experience the class is open to every student at MHHS. Softball players who want to improve their game and develop their skills are welcome to be part of the program. The baseball team and the Institute are two different entities.
