Format
Each session will start out with a short hitting talk. We will cover technique, approach, and the mental aspect of hitting week to week. Players will be given a 15-minute warm-up period before all games. Teams will play (2) 5 inning games per session, and each game will be between 25-30 minutes in duration. Every at bat is situational, so there will be a focus on situational hitting. At the end of 4 weeks, all teams will be seeded and we will have a double elimination playoff in week 5. Playoff winners will receive $300 dollars in cash per team!
