Camp Descriptions | Catchers U

Winter camp comprises three phases. Players may attend all phases for the most comprehensive training experience. Players may also choose to attend only some phases.

RBO (receiving and blocking only) Camp

This intensive 6-week program is dedicated to mastering the essential skills of receiving and blocking. Catchers will be trained in both traditional and one-knee down stances, learning to effectively receive and block from each position. In addition to core skills, participants will undergo training in visual tracking, mobility, game management, and leadership. This phase is crucial for refining and transforming catchers' stances and setups, setting the foundation for advanced performance. There is no throwing/pop time work during this camp as all throwing work will be conducted in the RBT, Season Prep, and In Season camps.

RBT (receiving, blocking, and throwing) Camp

Building on the foundation set in the RBO phase, this 6-week program introduces the critical skill of throwing to bases. Catchers will continue to refine their receiving and blocking techniques while incorporating precise footwork and throwing drills to all bases. The curriculum also includes essential arm care practices, ensuring that catchers maintain peak performance and long-term health. This phase integrates all aspects of catching, preparing participants for game-ready execution.

Season Prep Camp

This 6-week final phase is designed to fully prepare catchers for the upcoming season. Building on previous training, catchers will continue to sharpen their receiving, blocking, and throwing to bases, with a focus on game-ready execution. In addition to in-class training, participants will receive personalized feedback and assistance in coordinating bullpen sessions outside of regular classes. This comprehensive preparation ensures that catchers are equipped with the skills and confidence needed to excel in real-game situations.

Current Camp Options

The In Season program is an opportunity for catchers to keep their skills sharp during their respective season. The program covers weekly receiving, blocking, and throwing to bases. The main focus is to prepare catchers for their upcoming games and to review plays from previous games that need additional work. Helping catchers become problem solvers in real time will allow them to play at full speed.

In season camps occur during the spring and fall seasons.
