Catching · El Dorado Hills
Coaching for the Position Nobody Coaches
Catchers are usually taught by inheritance — the gear gets handed over and the technique is guessed at. EDH catching lessons treat it as its own skill: receiving that holds a strike, blocking that keeps the ball in front, a repeatable transfer, and the awareness to run an inning rather than just survive it.

Why El Dorado Hills for Catching
Hillsdale Cir is fully indoor, which makes catching one of the more practical things to train there — receiving and blocking need volume and a controlled surface far more than they need open field space. For Folsom and Cameron Park families it is the shorter drive, and Trey Furrey, the EDH GM, can point you to the right coach for the athlete.

Catching in El Dorado Hills: Common Questions
Where do EDH catching lessons take place?
At 4990 Hillsdale Cir, Suite 400, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 — indoors, on turf with netted space, so sessions run through the winter.
What does a catching lesson actually cover?
Stance and receiving, blocking technique and recovery, the transfer and footwork on throws, and the game-awareness pieces — counts, situations, and working with a pitcher. Which of those gets the time depends on where the athlete is.
How does catching work fit with pitching lessons at the same facility?
They pair naturally, and El Dorado Hills is where BBT’s pitching staff includes a former MLB pitcher. Families with a catcher and a pitcher in the same household often schedule at the same facility.
What age should a player start catching lessons?
BBT’s programming is built around ages 8-14U. The earlier a catcher learns a sound stance the better, mostly because bad habits in the stance are the hardest to undo later and the hardest on the body.
Do you have catching gear at the facility?
Call 916-465-5551 before the first lesson and the staff will confirm what to bring rather than have you buy a set you may not need.
