How Registration Works:
Classes are once per week for 10 weeks. The registration period goes from December 9th-15th. Early registration for the regular preseason session is $30 off and goes from December 6th - 8th. If you are registering with a group/team, choose “Team Registration” under class choices. Otherwise, choose your top three time preferences for class, and you will be organized based on age and ability level. On December 20th you will be notified of your class time.

Format:
75-Minute Small-Group Lessons - Why Small Group?
2 Instructors Per Class

Program:
Practice Pro is designed to be a year-round program for players who want to reach their potential. In September you have the chance to register for the offseason (October - December) and preseason (January - March) together at a discount. There is also another enrollment period at the end of the year in December for the preseason program. The offseason session is a ten-lesson program. It is often one of the most fun times to train, as advanced players have a chance to make big strides with fundamentals and learn new movement pitches. Beginner-level pitchers who start well before their 2025 season will be at a huge advantage having the chance to develop a solid foundation with accuracy and speed, then will step on the mound with confidence come April. Elite and college prep classes will be invite-only after completing an evaluation.

Parent Involvement:
The most successful pitchers have supportive parents. We ask parents to join their daughters in each class to catch and learn. If you are unable to physically catch a sibling or team catcher will do.

Abby Hanrahan, Erica Hanrahan, and Emily Tucci will be the lead instructors. Various instructors will be the assistants for other classes. Occasionally, lead instructors will sub for one another. All instructors for each day are listed in your scheduling app (Wodify).

Rescheduling:
If you miss a class you must reschedule your class within your current session. You may not roll over any classes to any other class, lesson or camp. This includes missing the last class. Open spots in other classes are not guaranteed.
