Joy of the Game Baseball & Softball Academy - Buffalo Grove is proud to offer our exciting series of Baseball Clinics!


PDS Baseball FUNdamentals Skills Clinic For 1st & 2nd Graders
One of our most popular clinics! It is sure to fill up quickly! 15 players and 3 Instructors Means a Great 5:1 Student to Teacher Ratio

These clinics are highly focused on helping young players build a solid foundation of fundamental skills. The main topics (and some of the points of emphasis) will include

Correct throwing motion
Catching the ball
Hitting
Fielding
How to "Be in the Game"
Introduction to Pitching

Given the age of these players, time will be spent both reviewing past material and introducing new skills. We believe in this methodology because young players can rarely be taught something once and be expected to master that skill. The clinics are taught by experienced JGBSA instructors, who are very enthusiastic about teaching the game of baseball. Each player will receive a free t-shirt!

Each Class is strictly limited to 15 participants!

Each session meets once a week for 10 weeks.

Session 1 Saturdays, Jan. 10 - Mar. 14 2:30 - 3:30 - Limited Availability

Total Baseball
Player Development Series Clinics for Grades 3-5 & 6-8
Bring New Skills into the 2009 Season!


What is TOTAL BASEBALL? It’s the best way to get your player prepared for the 2009 season. TOTAL BASEBALL is a comprehensive 11 week program that incorporates all of the key elements of the game. We start with a 4 week session on hitting, followed by a 3 week session focusing on fielding. Next up is pitching, in a 4 week session. Each segment also includes what we call strategic baseball—base-running, situational play, bunting and more. Together, TOTAL BASEBALL covers it all.

You do have the option of signing up for any of the 3 sessions individually, but we highly recommend the complete course for the maximum learning experience. All sessions are taught by Joy of the Game professional instructors, who are highly motivated to provide the players with the tools, both physical and mental, they will need to succeed on the field. The clinics also offer low student to instructor ratios to again ensure a focused learning environment. The participants are grouped based on age and ability. Each player will receive a free t-shirt!

Our Video Technology will be used in the Hitting and Pitching segments

Catchers Clinic
Please Note:
This clinic will be held at our Mundelein Academy located at:
1160 Allanson Road, Mundelein
847-388-3545

We are doing so as our new academy has large open turfed areas, which allows our professional instructors to maximize the lesson plans for these clinics.
The Catchers clinic will focus on the fundamentals for the most pivotal position on the field. Topics include proper stance, blocking and throwing techniques as well as the basic responsibilities of the position. This is a great chance for those players interested in and those already playing the position, to learn the proper way to catch. Each player will receive a free t-shirt!

Each Class is strictly limited to 10 participants!

Session 1 Wednesdays, Jan. 14 - Feb. 11 5:00 - 6:00
Session 2 Wednesdays, Feb. 18 - Mar. 18 5:00 - 6:00
