Washington Baseball Instruction 2010 Development Fall Ball program

Our program offers a unique introduction to the concept of Baseball Intelligence. Kids today are "warehoused" with lessons and camps that don't teach the nuances of the game and how to think on your feet. They lack knowledge and repetition that is required to play baseball intelligently, hence the term "Baseball Intelligence™".

The WBI Developmental Fall Ball Program will run on the weekends. One day will consist of indoor training at WBI focusing on athletic development. The second day will consist of outdoor training that will begin with an hour and a half themed practice that focuses on specific skills. This practice will be immediately followed by competitive games or intense inter squads.

Why WBI Fall Ball?


Parents and Players,

The Advantages of WBI Fall Ball and How We Will Make Your Son Better:

There are two approaches to baseball training and development.  Many teach a more conventional approach which basically consists of regurgitated information from way back when “they” played.  This wisdom or instruction being passed on is often dated and in many cases false.  Additionally, the training environment and practices are lacking repetitions, intent, chaos, and feedback.  Kids are not learning how to become athletic and are lacking the Tool Box needed to develop, maintain, and get to the next level.

Our Fall Ball program truly focuses on player development.  All of our instruction is based on sound science and not conventional wisdom.  We have developed a very specific curriculum and training model that is time tested.  We focus on process and not outcome.  The process begins with Reverse Training.  We basically take a large complex skill like hitting, for example, and break it down into parts or drills and then perform them backwards.  This is extremely effective and accelerates development compared to the conventional approach above.

Reverse Training blended with T.R.I.P. Baseball Training (technique, repetitions, intent, and persistence) will allow an athlete to explode in his or her development.  All four components to T.R.I.P. are necessary.  For example, many athletes will practice deliberately and often, but will perform the wrong technique.  Alternately, let’s assume an athlete practices the correct technique and performs it deliberately, but only does it one time weekly.  In either case the athlete is not accomplishing anything and is simply confusing activity with achievement.  The bottom line is one must train often and deliberately while doing the correct technique.

What makes WBI Fall Ball better than the rest is how we go about our business when it comes to running practice and pre game.  Our staff is saturated with either past or current high school or college coaching status, including PAC 10 baseball.  This holds a lot of value as we are not just former players with no experience running a program.  In fact, we have four championships amongst us.  They consist of one Washington State 4A championship and 3 NWAACC or college championships (National Athletic Association of Community Colleges).  Bottom line, we know how to train, develop, and run an exceptional practice.

In conclusion, WBI Fall Ball is the benchmark for post season training and development.  Our program is loaded with value and solid content.  Each athlete will be challenged physically and intellectually.  Every workout will be upbeat and filled with lots of instruction and repetitions.  Each athlete will build a Tool Box and walk away with a better understanding of how to truly get better.  You won’t be disappointed!
