Leg Drive Band Work and a tip from Danielle Lawrie

8/15/2019

I find that the use of bands very important for improving the speed and power of leg drive. The key is to find different movements and not do the same repetitive movement. When I met Danielle Lawrie at the WCWS this year in Oklahoma, I got to ask her what is her favorite drill. She actually answered that she does the "Flamigo drill or One-legged drill, 100 times with bands on her push off leg." Pitchers should work up to this number gradually. For example, do 20 reps every other day for the first week, then to 40, then 60, 80, and finally 100 reps. It is no wonder she is a Hall of Famer and Olympian!

We teach hour long group lessons with no more than 3 girls in a group. We also offer half hour private lessons. Both hour group and half hour private lessons are the same price ($50 per lesson or $180 for four). We offer a $20 discount if you pay for four in advance. Payments made by cash and checks are also accepted.

My junior instructor lesson rate is $25 for either a half hour private or hour long group (no more than 3 girls). Junior instructors are paid directly to the instructor by cash or check.

I will be teaching a pitching clinic during the month of July. I have taught this clinic several times with a lot of success. It is a great way for pitchers to gain a ton of knowledge in a short amount of time. I highly recommend for a parent to come and catch because I go at a very fast pace and the parents will be able to retain more than the girls. It will be at our facility and stay tuned for details!
