| Hitting Clinic w/Video Analysis & Mini-Lesson (Organizational)One time hitting clinics/personal evaluations are priced as follows: $ 35.00 per student (minimum of (20) students or $ 700.00, whichever is greater). These hitting clinics last approx. 6 hours (or approx. 10 students per hour-add two-hours per each additional 10 students as well), as we first singularly evaluate & video record each student’s bunt/swing as it is currently (4 minutes viewing student or approx. 30 pitches). Then we give the team/organizational hitting clinic, as we will be discussing and demonstrating the proper hitting and sacrifice bunting mechanics. After a quick break, the rest of the time is spent giving equally timed (11 minute-long) individual "mini-lessons" (included is a quick review of their swings via video playback) to each student, with an immediate discussion/breakdown of bunting and swinging during the lesson. The coach would also receive a Hitting Evaluation Summary sheet for each student, listing the players’ current characteristics of their bunts/swings, with both good hitting points and any suggested improvements.

| One-Time Team Evaluation/LessonIn this type of format, each student is evaluated and/or assisted individually for approx. 6-7 minutes of supervised “one-on-one” time with me with the pitching machine/equipment/etc., and to work on their own (in pairs) for the rest of the session. I would discuss with the entire team at the start of each session about the lesson(s) or area(s) of study for the day as a group, where they could all hear the same daily lesson/concept. I charge $ 175.00 per 2 hour session for an entire team if evaluations/lessons are taken at Bull Pen Sports (i.e. with 12 players on your team, this would work out to just under $ 15.00 per student).
