Rookie softball athletes are those that are new to the game, and are typically in 8U or 10U softball (but not limited to!) Our Rookie training program is unique in that it offers training in all aspects of the game, including PITCHING!
In order to be successful at this position you need two things, a love for the process, and an excellent foundation. Our Rookie Pitching program has set up many young pitchers for success as they graduate to Pitching Foundations and on. Rookie pitching is our most popular rookie session, what makes Be Complete's Rookie Pitching program special?
All of our Rookie training sessions are semi-private, and can range from 1-6 pitchers/athletes. Our instructors are well versed in managing a small group while still providing individual attention, instruction and adjustment to each of our athletes. Rookie pitching addresses: grip, spin, release and arm whip, footwork and ground force, set up on the mound and game like pitching. Every pitcher is set up on their own "mound" or occasionally paired with a partner. Wear indoor athletic shoes and athletic clothing to every session, bring your glove, and a fantastic attitude!
Much like our Rookie pitching, Rookie Hitting is also semi-private, ranging from 1-4 hitters at a time. Hitting sessions will address set up, load, grip, contact, extension and work to develop improvements in rotational power, connection, athleticism, and making contact.
A defensive session designed for our younger athletes. Golden Gloves is for both Rookie athletes, and Foundational athletes. These sessions range from 1-6 athletes at a time and address footwork, agility, overhand mechanics, transition work and more. Golden gloves is generally offered one to two times a month.
An awesome attitude is all that is required! :) No catchers needed for pitching sessions, parents - put your feet up and relax on this one.
Choose our 4X / month option or 2X / month option. Rookie training memberships are a monthly subscription that renew on their own. At renewal date you will book your new sessions for the next month. Choose between Rookie Pitching, Rookie Hitting or Golden Gloves. YES, you can choose all pitching sessions (very common), all hitting sessions, or a mix of the two!
Do I have to buy a membership at the end of my month?
No. Your membership will automatically renew on the date you purchased. We have ongoing renewals throughout the month. Being a member means we work hard to make sure you always have a spot.
Can I reschedule my sessions once I book them?
YES! Just cancel your session through our member's app, and make a new reservation on another day.
How far in advance can I book out?
Our schedule is set for 6 weeks in advance. Every day a new day will open up with new spots for you to book!
What if there is inclement weather?
We will make the call by noon of that day if our sessions will run or not. If we cancel due to weather, we will be getting with you regarding rescheduling options.
Do membership sessions require a catcher?
Yes! Our membership sessions for pitchers do require a catcher (except for Rookie Pitching, and Velocity Sessions). Parents are allowed to catch, minors can also catch but are required to sign the waiver and wear a mask.
How do you train the mental game?
Our 4X and online members have access to monthly mental skills coaching calls with Coach Nic. During in-person membership sessions, athletes learn how to nurture their confidence, focus and responding to their performance in healthy ways through various techniques and strategies with BCA Instructors.
If I don't use an in-person sessions, will it roll over to the next month?
No, you must schedule your sessions within the month they are active. Commit to training up front!
How much notice is required if I need to cancel?
24 HOURS: We do require 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. We keep our sessions small and intimate, but this means that keeping enough spots for all of our members is a delicate dance. Your app will not allow you to cancel or reschedule a session with less than 24 hours notice.
What if the session I want is full?
Join the waitlist on your members' app! If someone cancels you will be notified so you can reserve the spot that just opened up.
Can I add on lessons?
Yes! Our in-person members are able to add on private and membership sessions (when available). Only members are able to do this at the member's rate.
My daughter has to be seen in a one on one setting.
Most of our athletes whose parents say this are the ones that benefit the most in a semi-private setting. Our membership sessions are highly competitive. Our athletes push each other to throw harder, make adjustments faster, and bring out the best in each of our athletes. Our instructors are highly trained in harnessing the power of a group, and our athletes have seen the results. If you still feel this way, check out our open private lessons!
What if I only want one instructor?
The beauty of the membership is that your athlete has a team of professionals helping her. Our instructional team functions similar to a private practice, in that our experts are working from the same programming, philosophy and style, and communicating daily about our athletes development and trajectory.
