At what age should my child
begin sessions with a private
instructor?
This
varies according to the interest
level and attention span
of your child. However,
our experience has been that
a child 8 years old and older
had the ability to stay focused
long enough to begin individual
training sessions
How
often should we bring our child
in for sessions? Again,
this is a function of focus and
interest level. It also has to
do with age. Some of our younger
players will come less often
than our pre-teen and high school
players. The primary reason is
that older players are in leagues
where they need to perform at
a higher level in front of college
coaches and scouts and thus need
more “fine tuning.” If
your child is just beginning
to learn not only baseball, but
athletic movement in general,
we will need to see them less
often, usually once a week. At
younger ages, we can prescribe
fundamental athletic drills to
do outside of our session that
either you, the parent, or the
coach can oversee.
Ultimately,
all of our coaches are professional
and experienced or they would
not be a part of Pro Source
Athletics. So your decision
should be pretty easy! However,
occasionally a coach will be
unable to take on a new student
or simply not have time available
tin your desired time slot. If
this is the case, we will find
you another coach who fits your
criteria.
What
is the best time of year
for individual sessions? Our
sessions can be held year round.
Most of the work takes part
in the winter months but it
is important to remember that
these sessions are not designed
to stress the body but to enhance
it’s ability to learn
how to use itself more efficiently.
Therefore a child can play
a full season and then put
in a number of months of work
in the off season without wearing
the body down.
You can
hire us during the season
as well. You can even hire
us to work with your entire
team should that be your
desire.
Can
parents participate? Parents
are encouraged to sit in on
all sessions and take notes
and ask questions. This is
your chance to become as involved
as possible. We do ask, however,
that you do not instruct your
child – that is what
you pay us for!
