TWO DECADES OF COACHING AND BASEBALL DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE

TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

At Narrows, the constant focus for our athletes is on developing them into smart, well rounded baseball players. Rather than focus soley on analytics and metrics, our approach is to teach players how to maximize their unique set of skills and develop them into fierce competitors that understand how to play the game of baseball. Our goal is to prepare our players to not just play at the next level, whether thats at high school, college, or pro ball, but to excell when they get there.

Our Speed and Agility program runs for 8 weeks in October and November and is run through Redline Athletics in Gig Harbor. Players will participate in 2-3 training sessions per week.

Long Toss

All Narrows players participate in our long throwing program which runs for 5 weeks starting in early November. The long toss program is once a week outdoors and is a critical part of preparing players arms for the upcoming season. Long toss sessions are typically held on Saturdays. Baseball skill work is often incorporated after throwing is complete.

Narrows teams being indoor workouts in December (for 10U through 12U teams) and January (for 13u and older teams). Each team will practice 2-3 times per week indoors at our academy. Pitchers will throw weekly bullpens as well. Indoor practices are typically 1:15-1:30 in length and will incorporate baserunning, hitting, and position-specific defensive skills. Pitchers and catchers will throw weekly bullpens on Saturdays.
