The Tuckahoe Sports / Mid Atlantic Orioles program will begin their age-specific positional specialty groups November 12th, 2024 and run thru mid December.
As the Orioles teams have completed their grueling spring, summer, and fall seasons, our baseball program is focused on achieving the peak development and growth of each athlete.
During this period, we step away from traditional team practices during the week and focus primarily on individual positional breakdowns of catching, infield, and outfield. Each group will run for one hour. Our student-athletes are able to attend any of the sessions.
These specialty groups allow youth athletes to taper off from consistently putting stress on their arms along with allowing their bodies to recover.
Positional specialty groups were initially developed to work on our athletesā individual skills such as agility and footwork, hand-eye coordination, communication, and positional form. During the offseason, it is extremely important to focus primarily on the number of quality repetitions each athlete is receiving.
During these sessions, each athlete receives a significantly increased rate of reps in their position.Ā Ā While team practices are still essential, specialty groups also allow these athletes to work with TSI/Orioles coaches with different approaches.
Specialty groups allow our athletes to become exposed to different coaching styles and ideas from each coach. Coaches are also provided an opportunity to gauge the talent pool developing in the organization.
If you have any questions about the specialty groups or any other program at TSI, please reach out to us at 804-360-3395.
