Aside from his extensive experience, Steve is known as a great communicator and a highly effective teacher, ensuring that participants will come away with new knowledge and a vastly improved skill level. His enthusiasm, passion for the game and legendary work ethic are instilled in each one of his students. Steve also possesses a true gift for being able to break down the most complex moves of the game and convey them to his students in a way that makes them easy to comprehend and apply.  Because he operates a very efficient lesson, students will receive an extensive amount of practice and a maximum number of repetitions in each and every session.  Whether you are the parent of a young player wanting to ingrain that perfect muscle memory early, a travel, high school or college player looking to fine tune his game, these lessons are custom designed for you!

Formats:

Private Lessons (1hr min. per session): Provide a player with the most individualized attention. Players will receive an extraordinary amount of fundamental work and repetitions in each lesson. 1, 1.5 & 2 hour sessions are available.

*** Double Play does not assemble the multiple player programs seen below.  Parents are responsible for assembling their own pair or group and a lead parent then presents it to Double Play for scheduling.  We've found there are many benefits to players and parents when put togeather in this manor. ***

Semi-Private Lessons (1hr min. per session): Provides individualized attention as there are only two players working with Steve. The semi-private lesson is great for siblings or teammates who enjoy working together. The semi-private lesson also provides an opportunity for us to incorporate competitive games into the lesson. The competitive drill work allows players to ingrain the proper muscle memory of skills learned while under pressure and having fun. 1, 1.5 & 2 hour sessions are available.

Group Lessons (3-4 Players / 1hr min. per session, 5-8 Players / 1.5hr min. per session): Provides all players with some individualized attention and plenty of repetitions due to the small group size. The group lesson is great for friends or teammates of similar skill level that enjoy working together. The group lesson also provides an opportunity for us to utilize competitive games as well as drill work that incorporates the interaction of multiple postions (ie. SS & 2B double play feeds and turns) interaction. 1, 1.5 & 2 hour sessions are available.

Team Training (9+ Players / 2hr min. per session): Inquire regarding the full scope of training options.  In this setting Steve believes the function of teaching the teachers is equally as important to teaching the players. This commitment by the coaching staff can have a profound impact on the long term development of the players. 2 hour sessions are available.

 

Sessions per Program: A minimum of 6 total hours per program is required to make some impact on the players skill set. 9hrs is sufficient to make a positive impact.  12hrs is desired by Steve. It provides for the most comprehensive impact to the players game. Fielding and Hitting each require their own allotment of time per above. This allotment of time will provide the reps necessary to ingrain skill set muscle memory that has staying power.
