I have been running successful Velocity camps since 2018, they have EXPLODED since then, becoming an all encompassing experience that improves explosiveness, velocity focused mechanics, overall strength and ultimately - the athlete's preparation for collegiate workouts and expectations.
Every fall and winter, we run two sets of camps:
Junior Elites (1 camp) : 6 athletes
Velocity Elites (2 camps) : 6 athletes in each camp, 12 spots total
Each camp includes:
Camp runs for 6 weeks, 2X /week. This camp is very fast paced, and not for everyone.
Mental Fortitude
For many of our athletes, this is the first time they have been physically and mentally tested in this way. At the end of every velocity session, athletes complete an intensive interval style workout designed to increase explosiveness and strength. These are challenging and competitive. Weights and rep schemes are scaled to match differences in strength and fitness to help athletes gain the most out of each workout for them. Athletes are expected to show up every session ready to work, compete, and give 100% effort, much like a high level collegiate program would expect.
Of course, our athletes are young and they are learning. Instructors are trained to help athletes learn how to become mature athletes throughout the entirety of camp, how to hold themselves accountable, how to respond to performances in helpful ways, and understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Why 7th grade and up?
These camps are intense. Athletes younger than 7th grade's brains and bodies are not ready for this level of intensity just yet. Fundamentals are not consistent enough and bodies will not respond to the training appropriately until we are a little further along developmentally.
VELOCITY ON-RAMP
On-ramp is perfect for our younger aged athletes that are not quite ready for our intensive camps. It is a specialty session available through our in-person memberships and is essentially a slower paced version of our intensive camps - focused around footwork, rotational sequencing, and other "non-negotiables" when it comes to throwing at maximum speed. Ask about dropping in to a Velocity on-ramp session!
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.
