baseball iq, strategy, & skill development

Session Info

The Impact Baseball Academy will run for six weeks, twice a week on Saturdays and Tuesdays from August 15 to September 26. Mission360 will be running the training, led by Aaron “Nuke” Nieckula (Head Baseball Coach, Marmion Academy; former minor league player, hitting coach and manager in the Oakland Athletics organization -- including the Kane County Cougars), and Alex Hales, Head Baseball Coach, Waubansee Valley Community College, and long-time professional trainer and coach.

The structure of this academy is to:

1) help players and teams get intentional game-situational training and reps in a controlled environment

2) related to that, help increase the "baseball IQ" of all players as they learn to play the game. There is a difference between having good mechanics and skills and knowing how to play the game (strategy, plays, positional awareness, communication, etc.).

In partnership with Mission 360, we have collaboratively designed a unique approach to learning the game when there's the time to slow things down and be deliberate about it.

It is possible to register for just Saturday or just Tuesday (note: make sure you are registering for the desired package)
