WHAT WE DO

Coaching for baseball pitchers and throwing athletes. 

A dedicated pitching/throw programme for baseball pitchers and any throwing sports such as cricket. We hold certifications with Top Velocity, Driveline, Driveline Pitch Design Rapsodo Pitching, S&C, PLUS, over 10 years of coaching experience including high performance athletes.

Each athlete differs, our programme take this into account as we look to build efficient body movements &  sequencing, ball velocity, accuracy, and most importantly reduce arm soreness and injury risk. 

WHO CAN DO IT & WHAT'S INVOLVED

  • Male & female athletes generally 10 years and older
  • Small group training environment
  • Progressive drill based programme that trains the athlete to consistently sequence efficient movement patterns, increasing velo, accuracy and avoiding injury
  • Understanding and use of the kinetic chain in the pitching/throwing motion
  • Reduce arm soreness, fatigue, injury and arm recovery
  • Pitch design incorporating pitch grips, spin rotation, spin efficency, horizontal and vertical ball movement
  • Off-season, pre-season and in-season programmes
  • Parent participation and coach development 
  • Purpose designed programmes for pitchers as well as positional throwing athletes such as catchers.
  • Programmes for schools, club, regional and state baseball associations

DEVELOPING BASEBALL PITCHERS

  • Through a series of science based, progressive pitching/throwing drills, we can remap an athletes movement patterns utilising the entire kinetic chain. Building a more efficient delivery that reduces arm stresses while building velocity. 
  • We use a combination of 1KG medicine balls, soccer balls and baseballs in the throwing drills. Allowing plenty of repetitions also without adding stress to the throwing arm.
  • Slow motion video analytics ensure the athlete can is properly sequencing the various movement patterns.
  • Progress varies depending on an athletes age, general range of motion, how long they’ve been throwing, strength, biomechanics and other factors.
  • Our programmes are built on the science based throwing programmes of Top Velocity and DriveLine.

PITCHING CAMPS - AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND & ASIA

AUSTRALIA WIDE

Pitching and throwing camps can be organised outside of the Gold Coast, throughout Australia.  Camps are generally tailored to meet the requirments of individual, group, school, baseball club, league or state association and can be of any time frame. Facility wise, a plyo wall would be ideal, however any field with netting would also be suitable.

NEW ZEALAND & ASIA

Our regional training programmes primarily focus on pitcher development and throwing in general. Many of these med ball drills, movement patterns and skills are transferable to hitters and positional throwing athletes such as catchers, infielders, and outfielders. Additionally we provide coach and parent training as part of the programme.  If you are interested in organising training camps in your region please contact us.

Strength-and-Gym-Work

STRENGTH & GYM WORK

Building sustainable velo increases is a combination of building strength and movement patterns. We work with BodyEngineeringSC here on the Gold Coast tailoring the strength programme in line with what we require from the athlete to achieve the desired outcomes.
