THE DOUBLE PLAY WEEK (FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS)

Close Window

Refine Skills and Focus On Your Position

 

The Double Play week takes our instructional approach a
step further and offers campers the opportunity to focus on positions of their choice. Campers can expect a more individualized and focused approach to core aspects of their game, including position-specific instruction on technique and game situations.

 

The Double Play Experience includes:


• Academy Coaches and Specialists: Our experienced
coaching staff encourages each camper to focus his/her skill development by position using a positive and personalized approach and proven coaching techniques.

 

• Game Situations and Decision-Making: Divisional games
are played daily allowing campers to transform their instruction and practice into real game experience. Game situations enhance campers’ on-field decision-making abilities, and increase their knowledge of individual position responsibilities. Emphasis is on position work, proper execution of fundamentals, and sportsmanship.

 

Due to the unique instructional format of the Double Play Week, the visits by Phillies players and coaches are not offered.
