Team Practice and Conditioning
Along with scheduled practices we have conditioning Monday-Thursday evenings at the Quakes Baseball Academy Facility in Laguna Niguel. Conditioning is from May until mid-August. Our conditioning program consists of Yoga, Pilates, core conditioning, Vertimax speed training and Plyometrics.
In the summer we practice at Corona del Mar High School taking ground balls and running. In the fall our outdoor practice is held at Chapparosa Park in Laguna Niguel. We believe running should be done as many days as possible. With the program they will specifically train in running 2-3 days per week. This training is done with “bullet belts” and harnesses in order to help their explosive first step so they can become better and faster athletes.
Hitting practice is done at the Quakes facility in Laguna Niguel. The players are encouraged to attend the open hitting sessions as time permits, before or after conditioning. This will give them the repetition they need improve on their swing mechanics.
