Rutgers Baseball To Hold Winter Hitting Clinic
Dec 04 | Baseball
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Dec. 3, 2010) - The Rutgers baseball program will hold its annual winter hitting clinic for high school players in late December.
The clinic will take place at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, Tuesday through Thursday, December 28-30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each day at the Louis Brown Athletic Center to assist players in their preparation for the 2011 season.
Participants will work one-on-one with Rutgers coaches, including head coach Fred Hill and former All-Americans Glen Gardner and Darren Fenster. Everyone will have the opportunity to participate in live batting practice and drills. Each player will go through numerous drills and informational stations aimed to develop your personal skill. Proper mechanics will be demonstrated, strategy will be discussed, and numerous repetitions will be practiced.
The hitting clinic is open to players currently at the high school level, grades 9-12, and will include individual instruction along with advice from the veteran coaching staff and Rutgers players. Hill, who enters his 28th year at the helm of the Rutgers program in 2011, has seen 40 of his players move on to professional baseball since 1998. The veteran mentor became the 16th active Division I head coach to earn 1,000 victories, achieving the prestigious feat last spring.
Located inside the Louis Brown Athletic Center, on the University's Livingston Campus in Piscataway, each member of the camp will enjoy the Scarlet Knights' winter home which features three full-length batting cages complete with pitching machines and several soft toss and tee stations.
Enrollment is $225 and space is limited to ensure lower player-to-coach ratio. For more information, or to register for the clinic, please call the Rutgers baseball office at 732-445-7834 or email baseball@scarletknights.com. Pre-registration is required and spots will be filled in the order in which they are received. You can also download the registration form. The clinic has sold out each of the last four years so act fast.
