Progressive skill-building for Softball & Baseball
York Little League is excited to announce our Winter Player Development Program! We have designed a comprehensive, progressive curriculum to get players ready for the spring season. Focus will be on the fundamentals and mechanics of fielding, throwing, hitting, and baserunning, with specialized “substations” for pitching and catching integrated into weekly practices.
The Program Structure
To ensure maximum retention and skill development, these clinics are designed as 5-week programs with weekly sessions. The curriculum builds week-over-week, so we encourage players to commit to the full session to see the best results.
Dates & Sessions
Please note that Session I has been extended 1-week (until Feb 22) because of the cancellation due to the snow storm on Jan 25. Session II will begin on Mar 1 and continue through Mar 29.
- Session I: January 18 – February 22 (5 Weeks)
- Session II: March 1 – March 29 (5 Weeks)
- Note: Clinics will run as scheduled during February school break dates (2/15 & 2/22).
Weekly Schedule (Sundays)*
- 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Softball (All Ages)
- 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Minors Baseball (Ages 6–9)
- 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Majors Baseball (Ages 9–12)
*On Feb 8, we will start the program 30 minutes earlier to allow for more time to get to Super Bowl festivities. The schedule will look like:
- 2:30-3:30 Softball
- 3:30-4:30 Minors Baseball
- 4:30-5:30 Majors Baseball
Note: Baseball 9-year-olds will be placed on a case-by-case basis depending on past playing experience and YLL scheduling needs. Family preference may be taken into consideration when possible.
