ABOUT COACH PITCH BASEBALL
Coach Pitch builds on the basics and helps players continue developing their skills in throwing, catching, hitting, fielding, and base running. At this level, players begin to learn simple game strategies and gain a better understanding of how the game flows. Volunteer parent coaches guide players through both skill development and teamwork.
PROGRAM DATES AND LOCATION
Coach Pitch will tentatively be at 5:30-6:45pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Central Middle School. Schedules for the entire summer will be posted prior to the first week of practice.
