FAQ
What coronavirus considerations are in place for 2021-22?
All of the Backyard Hackers coaches are fully vaccinated.
We will not ask any vaccinated folks to mask up or take extra precautions.
Any unvaccinated kids and helpers will be asked to be masked up, and continue to follow quarantine protocols if they have an exposure or test positive.
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, and will probably have a couple of college kids this year.
When will this going down?
We'll fire things up on Oct. 9. Practices will happen every week. There'll be a full calendar once we get going.
Will kids be pitching?
All of the young baseball players will get some pitching training, but that won't be the focus of the throwing and arm care programs. We will help setup softball players to 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.
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.)
