About our Sessions
Pitching: Instructor - Rick Fitzsimons (40+ Years of Experience)
We are pleased to welcome Rick (Former CT Titans Pitching Instructor) as he will lead an introductory level overview of the basic fundamentals and best practices of fastpitch pitching specifically for young athletes. Pitchers must provide their own catchers for this session
Hitting: Instructors - Annilise LaRosa, Lou Castellani, Brian Oatway (Combined 25 Years of Experience)
Focus on the fundamentals and proper mechanics of the swing. We will utilize tee work, front toss and our batting cage to illustrate quality techniques critical to developing the “DINGER SWING”
Defense: Instructors - Jon Kozlak, Jeff Linsky (Combined 20 Years of Experience)
During this session we will focus on the proper techniques for throwing and fielding ground balls. We will illustrate proper “ready position”, discuss and show the importance of the “first step” and guide each of the players in developing a smooth transition from fielding the ball to the throw
Catching: Instructors - Marissa Morris, Annilise LaRosa (University of Connecticut & Kings College Alumni as Catchers)
We are very happy to have both Marissa and Annilise lead our catching session! Throughout this session, players will be taught the fundamentals of proper stance, blocking, pitch calling and pop ups
