NEW: Velocity Sports PDP

Player Development Program for baseball players in grades 5-8

Training Runs December-February

Comprehensive off-season pitching and hitting program designed for players in grades 5-8

Velocity Sports Player Development Program (PDP) for Baseball Players in Grades 5-8

This program focuses on developing players’ overall skills in several key areas, including pitching, hitting, speed, and agility. Players will train in a two-hour session with four coaches (3:1 player-coach ratio) using advanced player development tools at Velocity Sports, including Rapsodo, HitTrax, Blast Motion, and more. All players receive a player development manual explaining daily training activities all off-season.

​Our goal is to provide baseball players with an all-inclusive, high-quality, research-based training program. We strive to accomplish the following during this program:

  1. Teach proper movement patterns and mechanics for both hitting and pitching

  2. Introduce players to a proper warm-up, recovery, and arm-care program.

  3. Develop hitting and pitching skills including velocity, command, off-speed pitches, bat speed, barrel percentage, and more.

  4. Foster a love for the game of baseball.

Program Length:

12 weeks starting December through the end of February. No classes will be held the week of Christmas.

Training Breakdown

Phase 1: Build the Engine (Weeks 1–4)

This foundational phase focuses on movement quality, mechanics, and strength development. Athletes will work in small groups to refine their throwing and hitting patterns, develop better sequencing, and lay the groundwork for efficient and powerful movements. Using high-level tools like Blast Motion and Rapsodo, players will begin tracking baseline metrics and learning how to make real, measurable improvements. It’s about mastering the basics with precision before adding intensity.

Phase 2: Unlock Power & Speed (Weeks 5–8)

Now that the engine is built, it’s time to rev it up. In this phase, the focus shifts to increasing bat speed, throwing velocity, and athletic explosiveness. Players will dive deeper into data feedback from HitTrax, Rapsodo, and Blast to chase gains and make mechanical adjustments in real time. Our coaches tailor the training to push each athlete’s limits, helping them translate strength and movement into real on-field performance.

Phase 3: Game Ready (Weeks 9–12)

Training turns competitive in the final phase. Athletes will face off in live at-bats, pitch design sessions, and simulated game environments, applying everything they’ve developed in a game-line training environment. This is where players learn to compete with confidence, adapt on the fly, and get mentally ready for the upcoming season. With feedback and coaching after every rep, this phase turns training into results — and preparation into game-day dominance.
