If you have a concern about anything please feel free to speak to an instructor after class have ended or call at anytime.
We ask that players use the restroom before coming to class. Restrooms may not be available at all times.
Players may want to bring a bottle of water to class. Players will be given breaks during the class.
Players are asked to wear athletic clothing during classes. It is recommended to dress in layers. If it is cool the player has long sleeves on or if it is warmer then the player can take off the sleeves and have a short sleeve shirt.
Players are asked to bring a glove to class with their last name on it. All other equipment will be provided by Improved Performance or Players Choice Academy.
Safety comes first at all times. Safety guidelines will be introduced at certain time during classes where appropriate. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to speak to an instructor or Stephanie Clark.
If your child has a special need of any sort please speak to your instructor prior to class if possible. This information is valuable in the learning experience of your child and teaching capability of the instructor. We want to ensure that we do everything we can to create a fun and exciting baseball experience for your child and others around them.

Regarding Disciplining Players during Class

admin — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:21:13 +0000

Improved Performance believes in the 3 strikes you are out philosophy. First strike consists of a verbal warning. Second strike will result in a physical activity (push-up, sit-ups, running, etc.). Third strike is the final act and the child will be asked to sit on the bench for duration of time based on the instructor’s discretion. The disruptive child will be asked to come back onto the playing field based after this time out. If three strikes occurs instructor will speak with the parent after class has ended.

Common class disruptions:

Lack of listening
Not following directions
Speaking out of place
Not keeping hands to yourself
Crying player

Babies: They are welcome to observe the classes. We ask that they stay out of the area being used by the class. Parents are responsible for occupying young ones so that class is not interrupted. It is suggested that toys are brought to occupy the babies.

Other Siblings: They are welcome to observe the class. We will not allow them to participate in the class. These children are asked to stay off the playing area. It is suggested that parents bring something to occupy the child’s interest during class.

Role of Parents

The role of parents, grandparents, guardians, nannies, etc is to show enthusiasm and excitement for the activities performed on the field. It is important to the development of each child that they are enjoying and having fun with the experience. We also ask that the responsible party bringing the player arrives on time.
