Baseball/Softball Program.

Baseball players from youth to professional levels are “covering their training bases” by participating in the Acceleration Sports Training Programs and improving their running speed, agility, throwing velocity and accuracy, and hitting skills.

Our baseball/softball training program consists of the most advanced training technology available today, along with specialized equipment, all designed to improve:

• Acceleration and speed for running the bases
• Agility for quick movements on the field
• Arm strength for pitching, throwing and bat swing velocity
• Strength and stamina
• Hand-eye coordination

PROGRAM COMPONENTS:
Super Running Treadmill: Research has shown that incline running on our unique, hydraulically controlledSuper Running Treadmill provides 200-300% more recruitment of the muscles responsible for increasing and maintaining speed, than running on level ground at the same stride frequency. This type of speed training increases the chance for baseball/softball athletes to beat out the infield hit, run bases faster or get to the ball quicker.

Plyometrics: Plyometric training includes a variety of footwork drills and special exercises that enhance an athlete‘s performance and ability to stay balanced while pitching, and for changing directions quickly and explosively for running, fielding and stealing bases.

Strength Training: Through the use of specially designed weight equipment and an individualized program, baseball and softball athletes can develop and increase their strength base (only available when signed up separately or with groups of 4, 5 or 6.)

Resistance Cord Training: Our patented SprintCords are used on the running treadmill to overload and recruit the hip flexors and quads while sprinting. These resistance bands are different than pulling a parachute or weighted sled because they specifically overload the hip flexors after toe off.

“I would definitely recommend it! People are given natural abilities and this (program) really helps you develop those talents to a greater level. I believe that this program can really take your talents to the next level. Its had great results for me, and I really believe that it helps your physical and mental state. It’s amazing what it does for you! I’ve increased my speed and my balance. My forty (yard dash) improved from about 4.8 to a 4.5 in a summer. It’s definitely made me a better athlete!”
