| 12U Austin Tornados prepping for the fall season! |
|
|
The 12U Austin Tornados are holding tryouts by appointment. We'll be playing in the central Texas area and practice in north Austin. This fall we'll play Sep through the end of November. Call for team info and how the Tornados can help your player improve. Map to T&C and field map available at: http://www.baseball.tandcsports.org/UserFiles/files/TC%20Field%20Map%20NEW%202013.pdf
Organization Overview
We're an established organization that provides a balanced opportunity for individual skill development in a team context. We'll continue to improve players abilities in on all aspects of baseball, but will be focused on agility, core strength and conditioning, arm care and pitch velocity and hitting mechanics.
The Tornados goal is to prepare all players for significant roles on their HS or college teams. We'll practice 2-3 times per week and compete in either scrimmages or tournaments at least every other weekend from September through end of November (done by Thanksgiving.) All tournaments will be within about an hour’s drive; there's plenty of competitive baseball in central Texas.
Our well organized practices have multiple continuous stations. Players get lots of reps and are constantly learning - no standing around. Our stations include agility and core strength, arm strength, throwing and catching fundamentals, infield fundamentals (position specific and general), outfield fundamentals, pitching mechanics, pitcher defense and of course hitting/baserunning. We believe in skill progressions that break down a successful approach and teach it incrementally.
Each player will be developed as a pitcher and, as their confidence and performance improve, they will pitch in practices, scrimmages and, ultimately, games. We track pitch counts closely, manage to pitch counts in practices and games. We track daily, weekly, seasonal and annual pitches. We insure that our pitchers have the training tools, mechanics and strength to help our teams in season and to be ready to progress to the "next" level injury free.
Our coaches have significant years of experience at all levels of select baseball, and have each coached hundreds of players. We have a certified personal trainer on our coaching staff to promote athleticism in addition to position specific drills that translate directly into baseball performance.
We'll be practicing out of Town & Country Optimist Fields in Austin as a primary base. Other practices will be held at facilities in north Austin that will minimize drive times for players and families.
