*High School: Pitchers / Catchers / Defense / Hitting / Game Skills

Click here for the registration form.


Warm up and Stretch - Each week we get loose with a light jog followed by stretching, and shoulder excercises.

Warm up and Stretch - We make sure each student will maintain proper throwing mechanics, with light throwing drills, followed with the understanding of how to throw longer distances, 70-120 ft. Proper long toss will increase arm strength.

Pitching - Each week pitchers will have time to improve their pitching mechanics. Pitchers will learn the strike zone and how to use it in their favor. Pitchers will learn to throw 4-seam fastball, slider, cut fastball, and change-up.

Hitting Drills - Pitch recognition will be the focus of our hitting drills. Learning the strike zone and trying to pick up pitches from the pitchers hand.

Fielding / Defense - Repetions of properly fielding ground balls and fly balls is required to play effective defense. Each week we ensure each player gets the chance to field ground balls and to learn how to field fly balls properly. We will cover several defensive situations.

Extra Help - Ask questions, this will be the best way for each player to learn more about the game of baseball.

  Happy Player

Dave Adam's Student Success Stories

Tim Welch
The numbers would suggest that left-handed pitcher Tim Welch was happy with his junior season at Portsmouth High. Welch, after all, finished 5-0 with an earned run average below 2.00. Not bad, right? Well, not exactly. [Read More].

Chris Anderson
Chris Anderson had plenty of ability as a left-handed pitcher when he was entering Portsmouth High as a 14-year-old freshman. But there was one major flaw on the mound for Anderson. "I was a thrower, not a pitcher, and I had a tough time with my control," Anderson recalled. [Read More].

Jordan Bean
Take a look at Jordan Bean's numbers and it's not hard to imagine why Portsmouth rolled through the New Hampshire Little League state tournament and into the New England regional tournament beginning Aug. 6 in Bristol, Connecticut. [Read More].

Rosa Drummond
Ted Drummond knew his daughter, Rosa, was ahead of other kids her age athletically when he took his family on a vacation to Florida in the winter of 2002. Rosa had earned a black belt in karate a year earlier at the age of nine and was a budding basketball player. [Read More].

Jordan Foose
Jordan Foose wasn't sure if he was going to graduate from high school. Baseball, the game Foose loves, suddenly wasn't easy anymore because the hard throwing pitcher had problems throwing his fastball for strikes. Foose's problems weren't only on the field as he was dealing with some personal issues and academic troubles at school. [Read More].

Ben Hart
Ben Hart has loved the game of baseball since he was a kid growing up in Portsmouth, N.H. And he had enough talent to make the varsity team for Portsmouth High as a freshman pitcher. [Read More].

John Mulvey
Jim Mulvey knew that his 12-year-old son, John, had the talent to excel as a Little League pitcher. But although Jim knew the game of baseball he admits he has a basketball mind, a sport he played in college and now coaches at the AAU level. [Read More].
Throwing

Our Three Objectives:

  1. Improve Performance
  2. Reduce the risk of injury
  3. Have fun

To improve performance, you have to increase sport specific strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, and power. To reduce risk of injury we are sure to always warm up and stretch before we engage in any activity. We will also closely monitor hitting and throwing mechanics. We are proud to be in a quality facility where we can long toss to improve arm strength and take infield on a regulation baseball field. Boys in the young age group can play simulated games using flexi balls.

 

Preparation will lead to success!

We are proud to be in our fourth year in helping young baseball players improve performance both on and off the baseball field. We will continue to try and provide the very best possible instruction in New England. We love the game and will continue to promote our players to new levels each year.

 

Champions are made in the off-season!

Learn pitching and hitting from a ten year pro player. Each two hour clinic or 1 hour one-on-one lesson will help the student put the mental side of baseball together with the physical side. We will make the game easier by learning the proper fundamentals while using the proper mechanics. Lessons include video analysis of pitching mechanics to insure maximum performance.
