Off Season, What Off Season?
This clinic will meet once a week on Tuesdays from 6pm-9pm for eight weeks. For both the serious and recreational players the emphasis will be on teaching all aspects of the game. Qualified coaches will break down all the skills needed to transition to the regulation diamond and each week will have a theme or concentration. This unique 8 week clinic will help transitioning little leaguers, ages 12 and 13, with no Little League eligibility to correctly and confidently transition to the regulation diamond. In addition the 14 and 15 year old will benefit from our accomplished coaches as they break down all of the skill sets to be an above average player.
It is a vastly different game on a regulation diamond. The eight week clinic will break down every aspect of the game from hitting skills (pop fly homeruns are no longer part of the game) to proper fielding mechanics and most importantly which is very much overlooked, base running.
FAAC promises a teaching and practicing format the likes of which you have not experienced before. We will also incorporate game situations and scrimmages as the players develop.
This effort will be coordinated and directed by Coach Mike McGuire. Coach McGuire is a former high school ( Farmington High) coach and Unionville Sr. Legion Coach and most recently led the Team Ct. Baseball programs premier U18 team to a national championship. We are fortunate to have Coach McGuire, a Farmington resident, lead this breakthrough type clinic this fall. We invite all transitioning players as well as age 13, 14, and 15 players to sign up.
