USATC Camp/Clinic Program Descriptions

USA Training Centers offers a variety of programs throughout the year. The information below will provide you with a description of our clinics that are offered during the winter and spring months. Our summer and school vacation camps are similar in content to our general skills clinics. However with the longer duration of the camps, more material is covered.

Our full schedule of Camps , Clinics, and Coaches Workshops are available online by accessing the Camps/Clinics sub-menus.

General Skills Clinics

Baseball/Softball Instructional Training
For the younger ages (7-12), our programs cover all aspects of the game such as throwing and catching technique, hitting, fielding fundamentals, and base running. At the early stage of baseball/softball development, it is important that the player learns the proper techniques of the game in order to grow their confidence. For the older ages (12-15), our programs emphasize advanced fielding concepts, such as learning how to read the bounce, improving fielder's soft hands, and specific position play and situations. During the hitting portion of the clinic, the hitter will focus on bat speed, power, and pitch recognition.
