NPA 3-Day Elite Clinics

Held throughout the U.S.

I can’t even describe the impact you have had on my son Drew from just one clinic. He has so much more motivation to become the best pitcher he can be. He has a deeper understanding of the mechanics of pitching, a stronger mentality on the mound, and is more tuned in to the role he has on the mound.

Of course I wish I would have found the NPA West years ago for Drew! It’s been frustrating because most workout programs are not designed for the pitcher (maybe even hindering him), private pitching instructors only do so much, and his high school program does not work the pitchers. After your clinic, Drew attended a college baseball camp and was so proud that he did so great (3 IP, 15 Batters, 5 SO). Drew is looking forward to working out with you again!.

The Velocity Kit

Our best-selling Velocity Kit is one of our foundational products. Part of our Velocity Program, it helps you increase arm speed as safely as currently possible. We will guide you through the weighted ball protocol that also builds arm durability to help keep you injury free throughout the season.

“What you guys are doing for young men is remarkable. You have such knowledge and ability to translate the technical aspects of the game, and the material is so practical. It’s really remarkable the craft you have honed… Andy is working hard and if he keeps this up (he doesn’t know it yet) but I am going to bring him back for a few days in late summer. Thanks so much for doing what you do, and especially for the way you do it.”
~ Bob Bean Father of high school pitcher

MORE OF WHAT YOU GET AT OUR 3-DAY CLINICS. AND WHY. 

Pitching Assessments & Velocity Training

Each athlete will be evaluated on the mound for their throwing efficiency. You’ll also receive a set of weighted baseballs and be guided through the NPA Velocity Program. This is what started it all! The current overload/underload phenomenon to increase velocity started with this weighted ball program. As Directors at the NPA, we worked on the research and development of this program to create THE SAFEST velocity improvement program in the world. Learn what you need to work on to be more efficient, stay healthy and add velocity.

Pitching Strategies for Success

What is the most important pitch? When should you throw your curveball? How do you disrupt the timing of a hitter when all you have working is a fastball. There are lots of ways to get guys out without needing “nasty stuff” and we’ll give you the pitching strategies to do so.

Mechanics Corrections

Simple adjustments will be made to enhance efficiency in throwing mechanics so that you can command the zone better without compromising potential injury risks. Our decades of experience collecting data using 3D motion capture systems has educated us on how to identify the most common mechanical problems and how to correct them. We’ll also look at off-speed pitches to make sure they’re being thrown correctly, or if adjustments need to be made for better results. Data on spin rate and velocity will also be taken.

Positive Mindset Management for Success

The biggest killer to an athlete’s success comes not on the field, but between the ears. We’ll delve into what goes on inside the athlete’s mind and how to avoid the mental traps that can keep you from being the best that you can possibly be. Here’s a hint: you “play” baseball, you don’t “work” baseball.

Strength Training Guidance

Improve performance not only on the mound, but in the field and at the plate! We’ll show the most appropriate way to add strength specific to baseball that will get you the same benefits as heavy lifting, without the risks. We will also introduce proper weighted ball usage for arm durability and velocity increases.

Nutrition and Sleep Guidance

One of the least talked about subjects, yet extremely vital to recovery and feeling good each time you’re on the mound, is nutrition. Learn the fundamentals of proper nutrition, what and when to eat, and why good quality sleep matters and needs to be a part of the formula.

WHY TRUST US?   IN A WORD: EXPERIENCE.

In the decades that the NPA has been around, we have combined scientific research with practical application (and yes, lots of trial and error) to find the best ways to make each pitcher the best they can be. Not everyone throws the same, but there are fundamentals that need to be followed to be efficient and durable, while respecting the uniqueness of each pitcher.

Our mission is to help each athlete that walks through our door be better when they leave than when they arrived. We literally work with pitchers every single day at our facility helping them improve, and thus have learned countless ways to help different types of pitchers improve their performance. This is what we do, and have been doing it for a long time

FAQs

We know you have questions. We’ve got answers. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us.

How many players are typically in a clinic?
These clinics are VERY limited. We only accept the first 20 sign-ups… Why do we keep it so small?  We want each athlete to be able to get hands-on time with the coaches. In a nutshell, we take pride in what we do. This is NOT a cattle call clinic. Every pitcher will leave knowing they received individual attention.
Do you provide lunch?
No. However, there is ample time to leave the facility to get lunch. In the past, participants have brought a Subway sandwich with them, or something similar.  We can also give you ideas on places nearby that are available.
What should I wear and bring?
Each athlete will go through a workout before throwing, so wear standard workout gear (shorts OK) with gym shoes. You will also need your cleats, glove and some water. Each athlete will sweat quite a bit so plan clothes accordingly depending on the length of your time here.
Where should we stay?
We suggest doing your own research on places to stay since everyone has different budgets and requirements. There are no hotels walking distance to the facility. If you have any questions about a particular hotel, feel free to check with us.
Do you provide transportation to/from the facility?
No. You’ll need to make your own arrangements for transportation to and from the facility. There is adequate street parking around the facility.
“Fantastic pitching & experience for my son Adam. They have taught him about nutrition, commitment, strength & conditioning, mound composure & situational approach. The most important value is proper technique & eliminating & avoiding injuries. Adam started here throwing 65mph & is currently @ 83/84 mph. Last season he made Orange County 1st Team Honorable Mention & Pitcher of the Year.”
~ Joe Auriemma, father of pitcher
