8U Pre-Season Training | Weekly on Sat at 8AM
Pre-Season instructional training begins the first Sat in Jan and will be held at both Ryan Connoly or New England Hitting and Pitching Academy in Woburn at 8AM -9AM. Working with college, high school and talented program coaches, we will work with your player to teach and improve throwing, fielding, and hitting. We will flip flop between the two locations on a weekly basis to be able to maximize the space and the skill set that is being worked on for that week. Hitting will take place at the New England Hitting and Pitching Academy and fielding and throwing will take place at Ryan Connoly.
