View the training scheduleIs catching training different from general defensive lessons?
Yes. Catching is a position with its own mechanics and its own game responsibilities, so BBT trains it as position-specific work rather than folding it into general infield or outfield instruction.
What does catching training actually cover?
Receiving, blocking, recovery, footwork, and transfers, plus the communication and control that a catcher is responsible for during a game.
My catcher is slow on throws to second. Is transfer work covered?
Yes. Cleaner footwork and quicker, more confident transfers are a core part of the lesson, since most throwing-time problems come from the exchange rather than arm strength.
Do catching lessons cover the leadership side of the position?
Yes. Communication, control behind the plate, and leading the game are trained alongside the technical skills, because a catcher who cannot direct a defense is only doing half the job.
What age can a player start catching lessons?
The BBT catching model is built for players ages 8-14U. Call 916-465-5551 if your athlete falls outside that range and you want a recommendation.
