HMS Virtual Open House

We sure had fun today meeting many of our 6th grade students at 6th grade orientation!

JR Potthast baseball / Softball August Camp ***Instead of the normal big camp I usually hold, I have decided to do smaller group sessions: girls and boys mixed or not. Call for info!! Purpose: To prepare for Fall try outs – Middle school, and fall teams. College-age private sessions AGES: Middle school and up. Primarily a Pitch, hit, and throwing rotation camp. What ball rotation do I need to have on balls thrown from positions? Why is it the most important aspect of throwing a ball? Heavy on the hitting! Expect 1200 developmental swings for the older campers and 1000 swings for the younger campers! Dates: TBA: Bring H2O and work ethic. Location: South of tennis courts - Highland High School baseball cages Cost: tba: Group sizes of 9 and under. I suggest 3 sessions for best results!! For questions, please call 618-960-4467 – Mail check to JR Potthast, 50 trout dr. Highland, IL 62249
