Major League Strength coming April 18th

Major League Strength Presented by Jay Shiner, former Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Baltimore Orioles

On April 18th, The Batt Academy in conjunction with Jay Shiner of MLS, former Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Baltimore Orioles, will offer a half day series of training workshops. These specialized workshop sessions will include proper warm up & preparation, throwing progressions for pitchers & position players, and injury prevention for the throwing shoulder and elbow. There is also a course on appropriate & inappropriate strength training exercises per position with special considerations per age group. All information is based on the latest research & development founded in science, and through special bodies and organizations such as professional baseball, national strength & conditioning association, American college of sports medicine, and MLS (major league strength). Sign up early by calling the BATT Academy or on-line at www.battacademy.com

1pm                              Open discussion – conclusion

Module 1 – Dynamic Warm Up:Participants will learn and practice methods for activity preparation in baseball. When completing this module, each participant will learn the importance of developing a “ritual”, or prep-routine to follow before anytime he/she picks up a bat or ball.

Module 2 – Conditioning!When is it appropriate for long distance, aerobic based work? Versus interval running and multiple bouts of sprint work, or anaerobic based work? Module 2 will address the concept of seasonal training & periodization, and like other modules, will allow each participant an opportunity to “practice” specific conditioning drills as well.

Module 3 – Scap-Stabilization, Shoulder, and Forearm Program- Learn the same routine(s) and exercises Major League ball-players use for injury prevention of the shoulder and/or elbow. Each participant will review a series of scapula stabilization, rotator cuff, and forearm exercises relating directly to baseball. A brief review of an off-season throwing program will also be presented in Module 3.

Module 4 – Strength Training – Appropriate Versus InAppropriate Exercises! There are many exercises in the weight room that are staples to any baseball player’s routine, and are extremely important in player development! On the other hand, there are equally as many weight training exercises that are contraindicated for a baseball player, which may not only detract from baseball skills, but potentially lead to baseball related injuries!

$20 per head/per Module, or $50 for all four Modules, 9am – 1pm
