The Warriors have scheduled its third Fall workout. Weather permitting, the practice will be held from 4:45 pm until 6:00 pm on Monday, October 25th at the Cachey Park soccer fields. The fields are located about two blocks west of 82nd Avenue on 157th Street.
The team has published a preliminary Winter practice schedule. The Winter practice schedule consists of three types of events:
Batting cages
Batting cages are scheduled for one hour on selected weeknights. These sessions are optional. Players may also decide to come for just a portion of the hour if they wish.
Megaplex workouts
Megaplex workouts are scheduled for 90 minutes--generally on weekends. These workouts are used to work through drills involving multiple players (i.e., infield drills, rundowns, pickoffs, etc.). Player participation is highly encouraged, but not mandatory if a player has other obligations.
Individual player development sessions
These sessions are targeted to provide individual feedback to our players to improve their hitting and throwing (pitching) skills. Although these sessions will run through the night (from 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm), players will register for a 45 minute time slot within that time frame. So far, six of these sessions (3 hitting and 3 throwing) have been scheduled. Players are highly encouraged to participate in all of these sessions. However, attendance of at least 4 sessions is expected.
We will invite an expert consultant to assist with the development. These consultants will be people who have played at a professional level and have the ability to diagnose issues and teach the skills. I plan to add a few more sessions which will be targeted for those players who wish to further develop pitching skills.
