These sessions are held for all 10U and up MVSA players to come and work on the following: Playing catch, hitting off a tee, soft toss, pitching practice, catching practice, fielding work, etc. Bring a friend, teammate, sibling, or parent and get some practice in! If pitching you will need a catcher – this is a great opportunity for pitchers and catchers to both get some practice.
