It is the mission of The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academy to become the premier provider of baseball and softball instruction. Our specialized instructional program goes beyond just the physical training on the field to include heart, attitude, and mental preparation. Our goal is to instill a life-long learning system for both mind and body. Our programs are designed to help parents create successful, dedicated and respectful children by reinforcing positive values in our unique baseball/softball setting. Students not only learn how to play the games, but also learn self confidence by setting and reaching goals, self esteem by continual growth, improvement on and off the field, and respect for others and themselves.
The Sandlot training approach is based on the five physical tools that major league baseball scouts look at when evaluating players. Those five physical tools are:
Running: speed and base running abilities
Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
Hitting for average: situational hitting
Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball |
