J. Masco's Pitching & Catching Clinic

Saturday, March 7, 2009 - At Cosgrove Middle School Spencerport. At 8:45 am there were already 45 area softball players ready for the clinic.....by 9:30 there were at least 80 girls attending the Pitcher & Catchers Clinic. Many of the girls had never pitched before....others had not caught. In the next 3 hours some of the area's best Softball Coaches, gave up
3-4 hrs of their Saturday to help advance the skills of all these girls! Having been there...and witnessed it.....There were many, many sucess stories! Some of the girls that never pitched were throwing straight and level and 40 MPH in an hour. Other novice and advanced pitchers learned new pitches, change ups, how to add 5 -10 MPH to your pitch. Catchers also hung in there and got quite a work out.


A few of the area Softball Coaches assisting in the training


At the end of the Clinic most girls had an opportunity to throw to a geared up catcher, some even got a area Umpire calling balls and strikes.


John Masco wraps up the clinic by reviewing some of the days activities and
goes over some of the rules with the girls. John also discusses the importance of Good Sportsmanship in Fastpitch Softball.


The Team from Monroe High School got a real workout!

UPDATE:
Brockport Raptors: From Glenn Emerson

I coordinate the Monday / Wednesday 17-under town ball fast pitch program in John Masco's league. It's called NASF/Pony, was started years ago by Curt Haas /Gary Zastrow.

My team is the Brockport Raptors:www.eteamz.com/brockportraptors

We focus primarily on the Modified to young JV age group, especially offering Modified level players their first exposure to base stealing, bunting and other facets typically denied to the younger girls in town and rec level programs.
We also get a fair share of high school players looking to play summer ball and have fun

Frozen Ropes Fall II Schedule, New HS Player Programs...and Fun Camps too!




Dear Friends of Frozen Ropes,


Though the leaves are beginning to turn, it’s already time to start thinking about next Spring and the upcoming season. Training doesn’t stop when the season is over; rather, the best time to get ready for the next season is the off-season. Today’s athletes stay in shape all year round. Hall of Famer Cal Ripken was known for spending three hours a day, five to six days a week in the winter to not only maintain but improve his skills. Ripken said, “When I go to spring training, I’m in the best shape I’ll be in all year.” At Frozen Ropes our commitment is to help our players, regardless of their age or skill level, to become the very best ballplayers they can be. The commitment starts with the player but Frozen Ropes is here to take each player as far as he or she wants to go. Make a commitment for 2007 by signing up for Frozen Ropes’ classes and lessons today.


Inside the latest "On Deck" Newsletter you'll find all kinds of great baseball and softball related info...Along with the upcoming Fall II Schedule, there is information on the NEW Player Development Program (PDP), the full '06-07 'Ropes Schedule as well as many other informative articles, including an interview with Spencerport Varsity Baseball Coach, Craig Bodensteiner.

Click Here for the ' News Letter'


Fall II 6-Week Class Session Starting on October 30th

We’ve added several new classes and programs for our upcoming 6-Week Session, including high-end offerings for the 13 to 18 year old ballplayer.

JOSIE'S READY TO HIT A HOME RUN - AT WHAT AGE SHOULD THEY START?
Even at 3,4 or 5 years old, you can pitch a wiffle ball to them and see if they can hit or catch. If anything, it would increase hand/eye coordination and help in later years in any sport. I think a lot of people would be surprised to see how well a 4 or 5 year old can hit a wiffle ball with a plastic bat with only a couple days practice. In a few days they start adjusting and start to clobber the ball over your head.

LONG-TERM GOALS:

1. Get more girls of all ages involved in fastpitch softball.

2. If a local fastpitch association can be formed and can organize leagues, games and tournaments in a seven-county area, or the Section V area, there would be an organization to start in motion a master plan to build a centrally located softball complex where local leagues, sectional games, tournaments, etc. could be played. This would end the need to beg for fields, pay for fields, or kiss someones bu-- to get the use of a diamond for a few hours.
The more people who get involved, the easier it would be to build something like this. Both Buffalo and Syracuse have complexes built with public funding which are strictly for fastpitch softball!

3. Keep girls involved at all ages. Buffalo has an open league with no age limit. Females of all ages, from young girls to women who have graduated from college and have children of their own, still play in fastpitch leagues.

With Title IX and all the money spent on men's sports facilities in our area, it it is not that far-fetched to believe that a local complex could be built.
