Make sure you're signing up for the session that you want. Email john@backyardhackers.com with any questions.
There are 3 Sessions:
If too many folks sign-up, we'll take first-come, first-served, but try to work with everyone else to find a fit.
Friday 5:30 - 7:00, this is all-ages, SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL ARE FULL. The second session on Saturday will be very similar to this one. Email john@backyardhackers.com to talk about options if you want to sign-up a baseball player.
Saturday 8-9:30am, this is intended for players in grades 8-12. The cost of this session includes a Blast Motion Bat Sensor. We will also help each player gather footage and data for a college recruiting video, if they are interested. (Somehow this is like a $400 value.)
Both HS groups are full. If you want to register a high school player for a similar experience on Saturday, it'll be in the later session, Email john@backyardhackers.com

FAQ
What ages is this for?
This is designed for any ballplayer who is ready to take instruction and can sustain their attention while at a practice for 90 minutes. (Most 10 year-olds should be a good fit. It gets dicey the younger we go.) We go through high-school on the upper end.
When will this going down?
We'll fire things up on Oct. 4. Practices will happen every week. There'll be a full calendar once we get going.
Will kids be pitching?
All of the baseball players will get some pitching training, but that won't be the focus of the throwing and arm care programs. Softball players will have access to the local pitching guru, Denny Lauer, outside of the normal training times.
Can parents help out at training?
Absolutely. Ideally, we're looking for up to 3 parent helpers that can make it each week. They'd be asked to do things like throw front toss to kids, hit groundballs, or help organize kids during strength training. In return, those folks will get coach-style training from our instructors, helping the parents understand the movements and skills we're teaching at a whole new level. Email John if you're interested in this, and we'll get you an additional discount!
Will we be playing any tournaments?
If we have the numbers at certain ages, there's nothing keeping us from going out and playing a tournament, but that would be something we'd talk about as a group. We are teachers. Our focus is entirely on the kids and what they learn.
Can I get a Blast Motion Sensor even if my kid is not in the high school group?
Sure thing. John's 12 year-old is planning on using one this winter. It's all up to if you think they are going to be able to turn the information the sensor gives them, work with the coaches, and make changes, do it. The sensor gives things like, hand and bat speed, angle of the bat at contact, connection efficiency. . .these are all things the kids could get comfortable reading, and we can help. You can either pick one up yourself, or let John know to pick one up and pay him back.
Come on, there've got to be some hidden costs here -- equipment, gear, something. . .
Not that we can think of. We'd love to spring for a couple of tshirts for kids so they have something stunning to wear for training. But depending on how many kids we'll have, we could be cutting it close on staying in the black -- this price is shockingly low if you price out other venues. (1/3 of the cost of some of the local competition, and we think there's no one who instructs better than us.)
