As
a student or parent, are you looking for baseball
instruction that caters to the needs of each individual player instead
of a one-size-fits-all camp?
Founded
by former major league baseball player Mike
Kingery, Solid Foundation Baseball School provides
personal lessons and instruction throughout the year to baseball players
across Central and Southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities Metro Area,
as well as small group sessions in the winter, spring, and summer.
From
May through October, we offer the SFBS
60/50 individual lesson program
where you meet with a professional SFBS instructor
for one hour to work on whatever aspect of your game you choose. Last
year we conducted 60/50 lessons in Burnsville, Eden
Prairie, Hamel, Kandiyohi, Atwater and St. Cloud. If you are interested
in being notified every week from June-September, please let us know
and we will add you to our special 60/50
email address list.
In June,
July, and August, Mike Kingery
and SFBS staff travel to various locations
across the state for one-week Summer Training Camps,
often sponsored by local baseball or community ed. and recreation organizations.
We will be in Owatonna June 23rd and 24th. We will
be in Kandiyohi
June 30th - July 2nd. If you are interested in participating in the
Kandiyohi clinic please call me at 320
857-2244. The cost will be $80 for this clinic.
We will also be in Mahtomedi for 5 days working through
their baseball association.
There are
still a few dates available if you are interested in hosting SFBS
in your city. What a great way to have quality instruction
for a great price and no need to travel far! There are many options
for our summer instruction as SFBS believes that you
know what is best for your student. The instruction can be for one day
or as many days as you would like it to be. The result will be the same:
quality instruction for a reasonable price and our trademark small student/teacher
ratio. When you host a clinic in your city one of the scheduled
instructors will be Mike Kingery.
2007/2008
Spring Training Camps have completed in Burnsville,
Eden Prairie, Eden
Valley, Hanover, Kandiyohi/
Willmar, and St. Cloud from January
through May. SFBS will also be offering Coaches Clinics
in 2008, and Mike is available as a speaker
for youth groups or professional groups.
The
mission of Solid Foundation Baseball School is to train
and lead each student to reach their full potential as a baseball
player, an athlete, and a person.
SFBS
remains committed to a low student-to-teacher
ratio so that we can properly train each player in the correct
mechanics of hitting, throwing, pitching, infielding, outfielding,
catching, and baserunning - using lessons learned at the major league
level.
At
SFBS, we DO NOT use a cookie-cutter approach for teaching
our students. Through professional assessment and evaluation, each student
is given player-specific techniques so they will be able to, through
application, reach their highest potential.
SFBS
works hard to provide every student a chance to achieve their goals,
whatever they may be. SFBS also hosts tryout
camps with professional baseball scouts to help students who have
the desire and skill to play at the next level realize their dreams.
Solid
Foundation Baseball School, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Atwater,
MN native and former major league baseball player Mike
Kingery. Mike earned 17 years of professional baseball
experience as an outfielder with the Kansas City Royals, Seattle Mariners,
San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Solid
Foundation has at its roots the desire to encourage baseball
players in their quest to be the best they can be, both personally and
athletically. The key to our success
is the individual attention
we are able to provide to each student through our low student-to-teacher
ratio.
