League Boards and Reps - 2009 NPA Coaches Clinics!
As the 2009 Baseball Season approaches, it will soon be time for league signups, tryouts, and practice. Many leagues require coaches to go through some training for the upcoming season. The NPA has several options to choose from that will help leagues not only satisfy this requirement, but more importantly will give your coaches the best information around with a proven track record of success and reduction of injury.
The NPA Coaches Clinic
Duration: 8:30am - 4:00pm (hour lunch break)
Topics: Pitching and Throwing Mechanics, Drills and Conditioning with coaches and player models
Notes: Pitching and Throwing Mechanics section will start an indepth PowerPoint presentation. Following the presentation, all coaches will go through the drill sequence in groups so they can understand what it each drill feels and looks like. This group setting allows coaches to see, feel, and correct other coaches in how the drills should be performed to program the sequence into muscle memory. We will also have player models from a variety of age groups so the coaches can take each of them through the proper drill sequence. Again, the group setting allows coaches to bounce ideas off of one another, teaching and learning the material at the same time.
Pricing: Call for current pricing. Several options are available based on group size. National Pitching Association at 858.353.5804 and ask for Adam or email us at info@nationalpitching.com.
The NPA Online Mechanics Course
Duration: 2 hours
Topics: Pitching Mechanics, Drills, Grips, Motion Analysis (Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, and others)
Notes: Content is delivered via streaming video, text, and images. Short quizzes at each phase reinforce knowledge of topics, end quiz ensures grasp of mechanics concepts. Each coach receives a certificate of completion at course end, and the NPA Guidelines - a downloadable document that covers the information presented in the course, as well as recommended pitch totals, work out suggestions, and more.

"This online course is awesome! Outstanding. It is truly everything a coach needs to know to teach pitching and throwing in an easy to understand entertaining way. Thank you SO much for making this available! Every coach should take this course. No exceptions!" -
