Group Hitting at MSA with SZS and All Skills Off Season Training at MSA + DeLaSalle HS

 

We are pleased to continue our training partnership with Strike Zone Sports to offer 612 athletes group hitting sessions. We are also excited to launch a new 8-week long all skills training program with twice weekly sessions led by Coach Tom Heinecke with additional coaching staff support at MSA and DeLaSalle High School Gym.

 

Hitting Session overview:  There will be two 5-week long hitting sessions this fall and winter for $125. Please initially register for 1 hitting session so all our athletes have a chance to hit if they want to.  If there are extra spaces we will allow for a repeat session and will alert families via email this is open. Hitting instructors will be Rachael Wakefield, professional instructor who played her collegiate career at UW-Stevens Point, and Tamari Christopher, UW- Madison commit. Session 1 runs Nov-Dec. Session 2 runs Jan-Feb. Hitting sessions will take place at Minneapolis Sports Academy in Bloomington on Wednesday nights. The one hour, mixed age-group lessons will have a 1:6 coach to athlete ratio for hitting and we will again partner with Bloomington Blast for these group hitting lessons.
