Little Launchers | Ages 7–8

Service Description

Little Launchers is a small-group hitting program designed specifically for athletes ages 7–8 who are ready to build strong fundamentals, confidence and a love for hitting. Each week, Coach will work with athletes on the building blocks of a strong swing, including proper stance and setup, grip, balance, loading, swing path and making consistent contact. Players will begin learning how to use their entire body through the swing while developing better bat control, timing and confidence at the plate. Training will include age-appropriate drills, tee work, front toss, timing and contact work, movement-based hitting activities and plenty of quality repetitions. With only six athletes per group, each player receives individual attention and coaching while still getting the energy, encouragement and fun of training alongside other young athletes. Confidence training is an important part of Little Launchers, too. Through Challenge U.’s VBS System®, athletes will be introduced to Visualization, Body Language and Self-Talk in a way that is simple and age appropriate. We’ll teach them how to picture success, carry themselves with confidence, use positive and productive words with themselves and bounce back when something doesn’t go their way. Our goal is to teach it right from the start — building strong hitting habits, confident young athletes and a positive mindset they can continue developing as they get older. Weekly Focus Includes: Proper stance, grip and setup Balance and loading Swing path and bat control Timing and consistent contact Age-appropriate hitting drills and repetitions Visualization, positive body language and productive self-talk Confidence, focus and learning how to respond to mistakes 6 athletes maximum | Weekly 45-minute training Enrollment reserves your athlete’s spot in the same small group for the full September–December membership term.
