AFC WINTER CLASSIC BASEBALL CAMP

Due to lack of participation and interest, our Winter Classic Baseball Camp has been cancelled. Any sign ups will be notified right away.

FOCUSED TRAINING = WINNING BASEBALL

Located in AFC Fitness Bala Cynwyd, AFC Baseball is the premiere location for baseball instruction on the main line. AFC Baseball’s goal is to ensure every serious baseball player has the year-round ability to improve and take their game to the next level. Whether it is indoors at the home of AFC Baseball, located on The Turf at AFC Fitness Bala Cynwyd, or at one of our many outdoor summer camps and fields, we look forward to working with your player or team, helping develop them into the very best player they can be (and hopefully adding some hardware to the trophy case along the way!).

Specific training schedule and focus points will be developed based on the feedback from coaches and parents. First time skills tests may be required to ensure the best use of time for one-on-one sessions.

Hitting

Hips & Hands are key! But there is a lot more to hitting than just your hips and hands. AFC Baseball will work with your player on the basic of hitting and making sound contact for beginnings, all the way up to pitch recognition and situational hitting. No matter where you play in the field, everyone hits. AFC Baseball will get your player to impact the game at the plate!

Infield

Defense wins championships! AFC Baseball focuses in on the basics of fielding to ensure everyone can hold their own in the infield. For our little ball players, we will work on the basics of getting the glove down and how to throw a baseball. For older players and teams, AFC Baseball will work to develop situational knowledge and communication in the field along with techniques that will give them an edge on their competition.

Base Running

Base running and what players can do in each league is different. AFC Baseball will ensure that everyone has the basics of solid base running no matter what level your players are at. As a player progresses to upper levels of youth baseball, they will also need to know some of the secrets to great base running to ensure they’re advancing and scoring. From running at first contact, to what to do on overthrows all the way to run downs and base stealing – AFC Baseball will cover it all.

Outfield

Playing the outfield at every level can be tough if your head is not in the game. As a younger player, you need to make sure you’re concentrating and keeping your head in the game. As you get older, being an effective outfielder can make all the difference in wins and losses for your team. AFC Baseball will work with every level to ensure they are ready for all that comes at them out there.

Pitching

Most leagues by the age of 8 or 9 are introducing “kid pitch” so making sure the young ball players have the foundation is key. Accuracy, Velocity, Proper Pitching Motion and Safety are some of the key elements for the younger players. As players move to the older leagues, there is a ton to learn and master to become an effective ACE on the mound – AFC Baseball has you covered.

Catching

The field general. Catching is one of the most important positions in all of sports. A lot of the skills needed to become an effective catcher are located above the shoulders. AFC Baseball will focus on both the physical and mental parts of the catching position and making sure you’re prepared to direct your team to victory from behind home plate.

Baseball Conditioning

At any age, fitness on the field matters. A lot of teams, leagues and individual players take this part too lightly – not at AFC Baseball. We take our conditioning, both mental and physical seriously and will expect our coaches and players to do the same. From pre-game (pre-practice) warmups, to off-season, pre-season and in-season workouts, we go through some of the very best ways to improve speed and strength as well as reduce the risk of injury.

The programming at AFC Baseball goes year-round and will help take your player to the next level. Please see more about individual program options:
