Improving your overall athleticism is another critical part to maximizing your ability on the baseball field, and should be an important part of your training.  Improving your speed and agility makes you better at everything!!! 

On offense, even if you never envision yourself as a potential thief on the basepaths, your ability to score from second on a base hit to the outfield, or score from 1st on an extra base hit make you more valuable to your team. 

On defense, just because you rarely make an "error" does not mean you are a good defensive player!  If your coach thinks you cannot cover enough territory (called "range") on defense at your position, it is going to be tough to earn playing time. From a coach, scout, or recruiter perspective, errors are not  the measuring stick of a good defender. Simple put, it is the amount of plays you make on defense versus the amount of plays you do not make, and that includes balls you don't get to!!!

Carolina Elite Baseball offers year-round skill sessions to address this important part of your baseball development.  These skill sessions focus on improving your overall athleticism, including:

1) Increase each players ability to stop and start, change direction, and other athletic maneuvers through increasing their explosive leg strength and ability to control their body.

2) Teach the physical skill of running!!!  Just like any other motion in sports (shooting a basketball, swinging a bat, hitting a golf ball, etc...) running is a repeated movement that can be learned and refined.  Carolina Elite players have the opportunity to learn the art of running at a very young age.  These workouts teach how to properly coordinate and move the body to give themselves a more efficient and explosive repeated movement.  Most players are very surprised at just how much there is to learn about the skill of running!
