November and December are two of the most important months of the year for developing a healthy and durable throwing arm, but they're also two of the months that are most often handled incorrectly.

For many players, the fall ends and structure disappears. Some stop throwing completely, others continue throwing too much, and many fall somewhere in between without a real plan. Our Winter Clinic gives players structure during this critical window and progressively prepares the arm and body for the demands of the spring season.

The goal isn't to throw as much as possible or peak in December. It's to build strength, improve movement and mechanics, and appropriately progress throwing volume and intensity so players are healthy, prepared and ready when the games actually matter.

What This Clinic Provides

• Progressive throwing and long toss development

• Arm care, shoulder and elbow strength

• Total-body strength and movement

• Throwing mechanics and movement efficiency

• Structured increases in throwing volume and intensity

• Recovery and workload education

• Progression toward bullpens and higher-intent throwing at the appropriate time

Over the last three winters, 10+ athletes from our programs have gone on to commit to Division I baseball, with many more continuing their careers at other levels of college baseball.

More importantly, our goal each winter is to help players enter their spring seasons healthy, prepared and capable of maintaining their stuff as workloads increase.

Three Age-Specific Groups

This is not a one-size-fits-all throwing program. To maintain the integrity of the clinic and make sure players are training alongside athletes of similar age, physical development and ability, players will be separated into three groups:

7th–8th Grade
9th–10th Grade
11th–12th Grade

This allows our staff to appropriately adjust throwing progressions, strength work, intensity and expectations for each group.

  This clinic is run in a small-group setting with limited space available to maintain coaching quality and individualized attention.

Sign-ups are first come, first served. Once each age group is filled, registration will close.

**Rain Policy: We make every effort to run each session, including in light rain, and only cancel in the event of severe weather. There are no refunds for weather-related cancellations. We’ll do our best to reschedule, but makeup dates cannot be guaranteed as players schedule vary greatly moving into Jan 2027.
