Chuck Thacker's Fall Pitching Clinic begins on Friday, September 10, 2010.  The focus will be on beginners over the age of nine who want to learn sound mechanics at a young age to build success and keep a healthy arm. Chuck will talk about drills, arm health, off season throwing and strategy to name a few.

Requirements:

• Player must be at least 9 years old
• Player must be able to throw 60 feet (the distance between the bases at Hunter Park)
• $50 registration fee (check made out to Ashland Little League) and payable on the first day
• A catcher should be provided for each player. Chuck requests that a parent, guardian, big brother, or friend come to each session to be the catcher, learn what the player is learning, etc. There may be extra catchers available, but you should not plan on this.  If you want your child to be in this pitching clinic and cannot provide a catcher you must let Chace Anderson know when you register.
• The clinic will be limited to the first 14 eligible players who register by sending an email to A.L.L. President Chace Anderson at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it - (Hint: do it now before you finish reading this!)
