Just as every person is different, every hitter or pitcher is different.  Therefore, we do not “carbon copy” our students.  Instructions are tailored to each individual student’s needs.  Our philosophies remain the same but how each student gets to their final point is not.  With that in mind, our instructors draw upon advanced drills and old and new techniques that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual hitter and pitcher.

Homework

• Students are encouraged to keep journals of their weekly instructions.  This will allow students as well as their respective instructor to track progress and it will also serve as a study guide.  This will also allow the student to look back if he is struggling and pinpoint what he did the last time he was in the same problematic situation.  Players in MLB use journals as well for this exact purpose.  They are an invaluable tool to help the student learn and understand his strengths and weaknesses.

• “The Grizzlies Baseball Academy has helped me reach my goal of playing collegiate baseball while earning my degree.  My instruction there definitely helped transform me into a better baseball player.  The instructors are all great and are very knowledgeable.  They are very good at treating each student as an individual and helping them with their specific needs.  I will continue to take instruction at Grizzlies Baseball Academy in my efforts to better my performance and further my baseball career”
