2018 WD Academy
After an extremely successful fall session, The Wasco Diamonds Organization are continuing their “8 and under” WD Academy this spring. This is for girls who are 7 or 8, determined by birth year. This season will include girls born in 2009 and 2010.
Here at Wasco Diamonds, our WD Academy is a developmental program that introduces our players to the fundamentals of softball while building enjoyment and love for the game.
These goals are achieved through six weeks of a specialized training program, focusing on developing core softball skills such as throwing, catching, proper fielding techniques, pitching and hitting. WD Academy players will receive instruction from experienced, Wasco Diamonds travel coaches and trainers. Training sessions and scrimmage games between Academy players will teach the basic elements of softball. WD Academy is the first step into developing a strong player who is looking for more focused training than other programs can provide.
Training days will begin the first week of March 2018, and will go twice a week (minus spring break) with this session concluding the last week of April 2018. WD Academy will be held primarily at the Wasco Diamonds indoor facility in Elburn. Specific Dates, times will be determined after the registration period.
The WD Academy introduces to players and parents what type of advanced training can be expected at the travel level within the Wasco Diamonds Organization.
In order to maintain the coach/player ratio at its most beneficial number, enrollment will be limited. Participants will be notified by February 17th, 2018 regarding acceptance into the WD Academy.
