Minnesota Baseball Academy's Catching Clinic is a four week camp offering catchers an opportunity to shake off the rust and get prepped for their spring and summer seasons.  Limited to only 6 players per session, players will receive personal instruction and the reps. needed to improve at one of the more technical positions the game has to offer.

The clinics will focus around the big four: stance, receiving, blocking, and throwing.  However, players will also receive instruction and reps. to cover all aspects of the game such as bunt coverage, pick offs, handling and helping pitchers, and pitch calling.  Agility, core, and leg strengthening exercises will also be incorporated into every lesson.

Players sign up for single course attending once a week at the same time for a month.  Following the first course, players have the opportunity to re-enroll and continue their education and preparation through the following month at a discounted rate.  The second session will be pro-rated for high school athletes unable to attend the last session due to the start of their respective high-school programs. See below for pricing.
