2019 Dawgs Fall Development Program
ages(8-15)
The Pittsburgh Diamond Dawgs will run an in-house Fall development program that will consist of 2 practice sessions per week focusing on baseball fundamentals and increased strength and speed. The objective of our fall program is to continue with the overall organizational goal of individual player development.
Program Philosophy
The Diamond Dawgs staff believe that the Fall is the perfect time to get back to basics and refocus on fundamental baseball. Most players are coming off of a very demanding spring and summer schedule consisting of a large number of games. During this time, players tend to focus on game play and not fundamental repetition. This mind set usually leads to the breakdown of hitting and throwing mechanics and the development of bad habits. Playing a large slate of games in the Fall only solidifies these bad habits. The Diamond Dawgs Fall program is designed to help players get back on the right track to creating solid repeatable mechanics and movements. Our program is unique in the fact that players will receive professional instruction from our staff and be able to continue with strength and speed training which is essential to the growth of all elite athletes.
