Learn the catching skills you need to succeed on the field with Coach Bridget. These classes will help players build physical catching skills, softball IQ, confidence, and mental toughness.

​

Catching Skills:

• Stance

• Throwing

• Framing

• Blocking

• Pop-Ups

• Bunt Coverage

• Plays at the Plate

• Controlling the Field

• Talking to Umpires

• Pitcher Management

Beginner - This is for catchers in their first couple years behind the plate (usually 10U and under). These players are looking to build a foundation of a good stance, throwing, and framing. After strengthening these skills, we will add blocking, pop-ups, bunt coverage, and other skills needed to be successful on the field. 

Intermediate - This is for catchers who have moved beyond the early stages (usually 11U to 12U). These players have a good application of framing and throwing and are starting to work on blocking skills. These classes will continue to drill the basics, fine-tuning stance, framing, and throwing, while polishing the skills of blocking, pop-ups, bunt coverage, and more. 

Advanced - This is for catchers who feel confident in what they are doing (usually 13U and up). These players are proficient in framing, throwing, and blocking. At this level, we will perfect the foundational skills great catching requires while refining important areas like controlling the field, plays at the plate, pitcher management, and more.
