Strength/Conditioning/Skills camps in Coon Rapids will be held at Grand Slam Sports, with three different sessions: the first starting the week of December 7 and the third running through the week of March 8.

This program is designed to increase arm and body strength, flexibility, stamina and running speed while preventing injuries! It has been used for 4 years with baseball players from Ridgewater College. Athletes have had fewer injuries and increased throwing speeds.

Each 1.5 hour session will include:
• Elastic tubing series
• Medicine ball wall series & medicine ball throwing series
• Weighted ball throws
• Throwing mechanics with a baseball
• Mound work
• Position throwing mechanics
• Plyometrics
• Ladder drills
• Core strengthening exercises
• Hitting instruction

Sessions are twice a week for 4 weeks. You reserve 2 days of the week and a 1.5 hour time slot during those days where you receive instruction along with strength and conditioning training from a qualified SFBS instructor every week at that time for the entire 4 week session.

SFBS strives to be flexible to each student's specific needs - both in terms of training objectives and in terms of time. You can register for your preferred time by contacting SFBS at 320-857-2244, or by downloading and filling out a Coon Rapids brochure.

We have acquired a state-of-the-art pitching machine called the Pro Batter! The Pro Batter (www.probatter.com) that we have is the only one in the state of Minnesota that is available for public use (Professional PX2 baseball model)! The Pro Batter will be located at our beautiful new Coon Rapids location (Grand Slam Sports). It is a pitching machine that will give you the most real life game practice possible! The Pro Batter has a big video screen where you watch a Major League pitcher throw to you, the batter. The machine throws fastballs from 40-90 mph. It also throws sliders, curveballs and changeups without you having to go to the machine and make an adjustment. It is all run by computer and it is a great training tool for hitters!
Coaches, this facility would be an awesome place to bring your team! Call for more details about using this amazing machine!

The mission of SFBS is to train and lead each student to reach their full potential as a baseball player, an athlete, and as a person.

SFBS accomplishes this mission through private lessons and small group sessions that are fun, informative, and personal.

SFBS remains committed to a low student-to-teacher ratio (never more than 3-to-1!) so that we can properly train each player in the correct mechanics of hitting, throwing, pitching, infielding, outfielding, catching, and baserunning.

At SFBS, we DO NOT use a cookie-cutter approach for teaching each student. Through professional assessment and evaluation by our outstanding instructors, each student is given player-specific techniques so they will be able to, through application, reach their highest potential.

Students should wear comfortable baseball attire and bring their own baseball glove and shoes to their lessons.
