Once the teams have been selected and the season is a few months away, it is time to prepare to play at a high level.
The difference between good players and great players is the amount of work great players put into refining their game skills, physical conditioning and mental approach to the game. The 222’s Fastpitch Pre-Season Prep Program will assist those players that are motivated to refine their game before the start of the summer schedule. The program will consist of five 2 hour sessions of multiple rep, high intensity situational training designed to help players increase their fitness level, their knowledge of game situations and the pace at which they perform softball specific skills. All training will be held at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex.
The program is directed toward both boys and girls, with birth years between 2007 and 2001. There are limited spots available so do not wait long to register!
