INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
Our professional staff will cover both offense and defense. Offensively, coaches will be breaking down the swing (going over all the mechanics), and players will learn and participate in many drills to execute the correct swing. Coaches will also breakdown bunting, slapping, base-running and girls will receive some vision training as well. Defensively, players will learn correct throwing mechanics, fielding fundamentals for both infield and outfield, as well as personally select their preferred position workshop each day. Our players will experience many of the same drills our college teams practice every day.
Pitching - Our instructional staff will feature current successful college pitchers, as well as college pitching coaches. These coaches will teach the mechanics of the pitching motion, moving pitches, hitting spots and new pitching drills.
Catching - Young catchers will learn and go through the fundamentals of blocking, framing, throwing, field play as well as learning the mental side of being a catcher. They will learn new techniques and ideas for them to continue to train on their own, and to become a better catcher.
In addition, our staff will provide players with instructional game experiences to prepare these athletes for outside competition. The skills and drills they take away from this experience will be a strong foundation for future development.

I would like to thank my staff and all the campers for making the 1st year of NYSA a very successful one. The positive feedback that we received from our campers and their parents was overwhelming and we feel we accomplished what we set out to do; which was to teach softball at the highest level and give our campers as much instruction possible.
