MARA Juniors Families- Middle school baseball provides a great opportunity for players to compete, improve, and have fun. We want our MARA players to tryout for and make their middle school team. With this in mind, we will be offering a series of open workouts this winter to supplement your tryout preparation. What: MARA Juniors and Seniors coaches will lead workouts designed to 1) maximize offensive and defensive repetitions, 2) offer detailed instruction on specific elements of the game (base running, rundowns, defensive communication, bunting, relays, etc), and 3) improve conditioning (arm strength, sprinting). When: Beginning the week of January 10th, we will run two open workouts each week. These will generally take place on Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm and on Saturday afternoons from 2-4pm. Open workouts will continue for six weeks. Who: Junior (13-14 year olds) players that played MARA rec baseball in the fall are welcome along with anyone who is considering playing MARA rec ball in spring 2022 (upon conclusion of the middle school season). Please share this opportunity with friends that may be interested. Where: All workouts will happen at MARA on field 2. There is no cost to participate. Players can come to as many or as few sessions as their schedules allow. Please send any questions to Charlie Thomson, Juniors/Seniors Commissioner, at 262-893-7030 or [email protected]
