ANKENY CENTENNIAL HS CAMPS | Jaguar Baseball Academy

Centennial HS Baseball Coach Mark Hey along with the coaching staff of Centennial High School and members of the varsity baseball team will be offering several opportunities for North feeder students in grades 1-7 during the fall and winter. Youth coaches are encouraged to attend at no cost.

If a youth team wants to sign up together, there is a discount that applies.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE JAGUAR BASEBALL ACADEMY:

• Give opportunities for skill development to all Centennial feeder students.
• Continue to promote multi-sport athletes. (This is why the academy is split up into separate sessions.)
• Provide resources for teams of north-side players, such as field usage and equipment.
• Provide an avenue for youth coaches of north side players to learn about fundamentals and drills that they can use in their practices.

These camps will focus on the fundamental skills of hitting, pitching, and defense, and to prepare players for the upcoming Little League and USSSA seasons. You may choose to attend one, two, or all three sessions. The registration fee for one or more camps includes a T-shirt (one t-shirt per player).

SESSION 1: FALL JAGUAR BASEBALL SKILLS CAMP DATES & AGENDA
The focus of these sessions will be on stretching properly, pitching mechanics, drills to increase arm strength and velocity, pick-off moves, defensive skills for catchers, infielders, and outfielders, and hitting drills to increase exit velocity and launch angle.

• Practice from 6:00pm-7:30pm.

LOCATION: Tuesday and Thursday nights outside on the Centennial High School baseball field.
