What makes CIRCUIT BASEBALL different from other camps?
“Technique Drills” follow as Coach Heinkel and staff guide players to mimic correct form for pitching, hitting, catching, and fielding. CIRCUIT training stations are at the core of this camp! Players experience a series of 15 -20 different skill stations. Intrinsic motivation is fostered by the station dynamics as players seek to improve their skills each day. To keep the action lively and fun, players switch stations about every 4 minutes. Players LOVE THE CIRCUIT!
