2024-25 HIGH PERFORMANCE ADVANCED INFIELD

Catalyst High Performance Advanced Infield Program gives athletes the opportunity to develop and compete on a full-size infield during the winter. Our HP defensive programs are designed to foster individual growth within a team environment. Our focus is to maximize performance in both middle infield and corner fielding through repetition, situational drills, and competitive exercises.

​

This program is led by experienced coaches who are current, former, or future Division I, II, and III collegiate softball players, along with coaches who bring over 15 years of coaching experience. Athletes will receive plenty of repetitions while focusing on fundamentals, footwork, agility, and game situations. Position-specific mechanics will also be addressed in individual groups.

​

HP ADVANCED INFIELD is ideal for players who consider themselves experienced athletes and are ready to compete at a high, fast-paced level. This program is for athletes ages 13 - 18 only.
