Catching and Catchers discussion Catching clinics/instructors

[default]

Hello. I am looking for some insight from people who have dealt with some of these organizations. I am looking to put my 11 yo in some winter catching classes/clinic/lessons....I have called StrikeZone in Tallmadge, Brookbank Fastpitch and Kelly Metzger in Alliance. Now I would like some feedback regarding pros and cons of each program. I have it narrowed down to one-but only because the schedule works best for me. So if anyone with experience could let me know or pm me I would appreciate it very much. Or if anyone knows of a coach or clinic that is ran for catchers that is closer to the Mahoning/Trumbull/Columbiana county area.

Anybody with some insight or places in my area?

I am not positive, but there has to be something going on at the Thunderplex. Here is a link to the contact page http://www.thunderplexsports.com/contact/contact.cfm. If they don't have anything currently, I'm sure Dave Anderson can reccomend someone. Hope this helps.

Our 16u coach (Jackie Cornelius) offers private lesson and group lesson at Up To Bat West. PM me if you would like more info.

My 12 year old attended Brookbanks last winter. She learned alot. The instructor (Julie) is
great with kids, regardless of age or experience. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kelli Metzger is an extremely good hitting and catching coach. She is very knowledgable. She treats her students well and they LEARN! Well worth it to check her out!
