A summer team focused on player development
Summer teams lack development...leading to:
Poor performance
Players often lack the higher-level skills needed to be a great player. This leads to lower performance on the field.
Low confidence
Low performonce on the field leads to frustration, anger, and confusion. Breeding low confidence.
No college exposure
Low performance on the field leads to less exposure to colleges making it harder to play at the next level.
We teach the skills others don't
Hard skills:
We include lifting to help increase throwing velocity and swing speed. Increasing athletes. Increasing athletes' raw talents.
Soft skills
Base running, ground balls, cuts, and relays. Taking their raw skills and applying them to game situations on the field.
Mental skills
Making practice harder than the game, creating a safe space to fail. Allowing the athletes to build mental resistance on and off the field.
Creating:
High performance
Better hard and soft skills means a better player on the field
More Confidnece
Better performance on the field creates more confidence knowing you are performaing how you want to.
More exposure
Being a better athlete with better results leads to more college baseball opportunities
Leading to our entire
2024 class
playing college baseball
Here's how to become a Yard Dog
1. Try Out
2. Get placed
3. Practice. Play. Get better
The next
level is only getting harder
College baseball is getting increasingly competitive, especially with roster size decreasing, creating fewer spots for more athletes. This means it is even more important for athletes to develop, which most programs do not.
At The Yard, our priority is developing athletes on and off the field. This means teaching the physical, mental, and emotional skills to succeed at the next level, whether that's baseball or life. To do this, we make practice harder than the game and teach the hard and soft skills they need to succeed. Leading to a better-performing athlete.
Let's develop better.
