The Complete Package!

Sandlot and CATZ are teaming up to bring you a Sport-Specific training program that will maximize your performance. Sandlot instructors deliver Baseball/Softball instruction and CATZ Coaches deliver a program that improves performance and reduces injury risk. It's simply the most effective Complete Training Program available.

Sandlot’s training approach is based on the five physical tools below that scouts look at when evaluating players. Sandlot instructors will teach athletes proper fundamentals, mechanics and techniques that will give them the tools needed to reach their maximum potential.

  • Running: speed and base running abilities
  • Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
  • Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
  • Hitting: for average: situational hitting
  • Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball
  • CATZ enhances the Sandlot instruction by first breaking down the movement patterns, rest periods, reaction needs, muscular power, endurance requirements and common sites of injury. Then CATZ coaches will deliver a program that emphasizes sports-specific movements while also developing greater levels of speed, agility, power and strength. Some of Baseball/Softball results that CATZ coaches strive to achieve are:

  • Improve bat speed to hit the ball harder and farther by generating lower body and core rotational power.
  • Improve speed and acceleration to move from home to first base as quickly as possible.
  • Enhance reactive ability to get a jump on stealing bases or to react to a hard-hit line drive.
  • Gain overall power and endurance to throw the ball harder.
  • Enhance lower body strength and power, along with dynamic flexibility.
  • Improve first-step quickness and overall speed to increase defensive range.
  • Reduce the risk of injury with muscle specific weight training, strength exercises and reaction drills.
