Fielding Instruction

Once that ball is in play it’s a race between a human and a ball. Mission teams will be built with the skill to out play our opponents on the defensive side of the ball.
— Jeremy Gavin, Director

Mission places a huge emphasis on building strong defensive athletes and teams. With one of the few full infields indoors in the midwest, we have invested heavily in our ability to train elite fielders.

We offer the following training during our offseason fielding program:

  • Full field training at the University of Minnesota indoor facility on Saturdays

  • Outfield specific training at Mission Hopkins on Tuesday nights

  • Infield specific training at Mission Hopkins on Tuesday and Wednesday nights (2 time options)

  • Throwing mechanics (so important) on Thursday nights lead by Tien Ly

  • First base specific training from Coach Alex Reak

  • Weekly catching training from Nikki Caicedo on Monday nights
