Entering the Clubhouse will take you step by step through the 5 areas of instruction before the Final Exam

The ultimate goal is during the season we spend more time improving our individual and team baseball skills, and spend less time re-teaching the basics.  This will allow all players and the team to play the game at a higher level, thus preparing each individual to play high school baseball.
