"When it is all said and done, we sometimes wish we had done more and siad less"

Highly recommended Skills Testing combine on Sunday

1/6, 1:00 @ Balcones Sports Complex - map

ABC Nation,

Good morning. Friendly reminder and that you have the opportunity to participate in our semi-annual Pro-Style skills testing combine this Sunday 1/6 (2013-2017 grads). This is an excellent opportunity for ball players (and parents) to gain invaluable insight into what to expect at a skills testing event as well as how to best showcase your ability. This event also serves as a "Mock Tryout" or "Simulated Tryout" for underclassman who will be participating in spring high school tryouts.

Data collected will help each player establish bench marks to build upon as well as info that I can refer to when communicating with high school coaches, recruiters and scouts. The invaluable experience you gain from this event will help you to "advance your craft" by establishing benchmarks in three areas of your game:

arm strength (MPH)
60 yard dash
home to 1st
pop time for catchers

I will be hosting a pre-workout info session with all participants and parents in the bleachers to share insight and tips on how to maximize your opportunities at a showcase or tryout event; share several common pit falls; give you insight into "what coaches/scouts are looking for", etc. When you arrive on Sunday (parents and players) plan to meet in the bleachers.

Itinerary: arrive in baseball pants; wear long sleeves; spikes

1:00 - players/parents report to bleachers for pre-workout info session

1:30 - warm up

1:145 - testing begins

I look forward to seeing ball players on Sunday who are eager to measure their baseball skills to gain insight into where they stack up and to identify which areas need more attention.

Go Take on the Game,

Coach Prater
