AAYO offers special training and fundamental skill clinics to players and coaches.  These allow baseball and softball players the opportunity to learn proper mechanics on throwing, hitting and fielding.  

Hitting training will focus on grip, stance, and approach at the plate.   This will be done through tee work and soft-toss drills.

Throwing training will focus on grip, footwork, balance, and release points.  Training will be done through drills and throwing routines.

Fielding training will focus on proper catching, footwork, and fielding mechanics.  This will be done through drills and fundamental work.
