Lessons
Grades 3 - 12

One-on-one instruction (along with small group lessons of 4 to 1) is the best way to capitalize on teaching and learning proper baseball skills. Our lessons are 30 minutes in length (45 minutes for a group lesson) and emphasize either hitting and/or pitching. We also work with basic defensive skills and catching.

Lessons are packaged in a group of 6 or 12 and are offered once to twice (if 12 lessons are selected) a week for six weeks. After an initial package is completed, players can reschedule additional packages.

Individual lessons are also available but (usually) only after a package has been completed. Not much can be achieved in less than a 6-pack session !

To register: Send your check made payable to Ron Golden's Baseball School, P.O. Box 09446, Columbus, Ohio 43209, along with the player's name, address, phone number, current grade in school, high school, position, bat-throw, height-weight and any other pertinent data. We will help the player gain outside exposure (presuming that he is worthy of playing at the next level) through the Fall Academy.


At Home Training
The "AT-HOME" SYSTEM
Working on the premise that improvement in the skill of hitting is dependent on a repetitious series of drills, one can make himself more successful by committing to a daily practice regiment. Working on the proper techniques that RON GOLDEN has perfected in his "HITTING SYSTEM" will enable the player to improve his understanding and knowledge of hitting a baseball!

LEARN TO HIT!
There is a need for personal instruction in the skill of hitting that is unparalleled. It is generally concluded that "Hitters are born and not made", that they can be helped some, but to what extent remains to be seen. We contend that many ball players can become really good hitters if they are willing to take the time necessary to become good; if they make the commitment to work on this phase of their game. The good hitters who have so-called NATURAL ABILITY must also be willing to take the time to practice what they already do well or else others will "Pass Them Up" in their quest to reach the next level.

Every player who participates and advances through our "AT-HOME" HITTING PROGRAM will receive the proper blend of practice swings to both supplement and complement what he receives during his team's practice. He also will improve his confidence and his ability to hit the ball!

EMPHASIS
The "IN-HOME" HITTING PROGRAM places emphasis on the completion of a CIRUIT-TRAINING plan that is sub-divided into five stations.

1. Stretching & Flexibility
2. Warm Up
3. Strength
4. Visual and Mental Exercises
5. Basic Hitting Skills

Players often do NOT receive an adequate number of strokes due to the time restraints during an ordinary practice session. In order to improve one's hitting, each player needs a concentrated dose of hitting practice. This means a repetitive, progressive approach on a daily basis.

FEATURES

* Circuit - Training utilizing stations is the "Backbone" of the instructional program.
* Professional guidance with emphasis on a series of repetitive drills.
* Hitting Manual complete with checklist, drills and charts.
* DVD on Advanced Techniques of Hitting
* The Skinny Bat (Player specifies the size: 30", 32", 33", 34")
* Selected other materials including posters for hanging
* Workout T-Shirt


PITCHING

The secret to success in one's pitching is directly related to what he does on a daily basis to prepare himself physically and mentally to meet the challenges and demands that will face him. Our primary goal for those who purchase and use the At - Home Pitching Program is for them to become their own pitching coach and learn to make the necessary adjustments that will enhance their overall pitching performance. The first phase of understanding the At - Home Pitching Program begins with an explanation of the 8 - mechanical steps that constitute the proper motion and throwing technique. This is followed with a breakdown of the various pitching drills that support the 8 steps.

The Program is an analytical approach to improve performance allowing for an optional diagnostic "check-up" with a coach from Ron Golden's Baseball School.

The program places emphasis on the completion of a circuit training plan (The System) that is sub-divided into the following stations.

* Stretching / Flexibility * Strength training * Cardiovascular / Running workout
* Mirror work including "shadow" throwing * Throwing & mechanical drills * Pitcher's fielding drills

The system is a structured, formatted and organized workout. Each day's activities should be recorded on the charts provided and reviewed.

WE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING
Pitching Manual complete with checklist, drills and charts
DVD: Advanced Pitching Techniques
The throwing / catching bag
Poster with drills suitable for hanging
Workout "T"-Shirt

YOU MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING
Full-length mirror
A folding chair or stool to practice the chair drill
Game ball to use with the throwing / catching bag
2 pound hand weights and a jump rope

TOTAL COST FOR THE PROGRAM $249.00
(Ohio residents add sales tax / 6.75%)

CONCLUSION & COST
How can you lose? For the nominal investment of $249 (Ohio residents must add 6.75% state sales tax) you have the opportunity to learn more on hitting from one of Central Ohio's top baseball directors than you ever thought possible. To become a successful hitter, you need to practice the "BASICS" and develop a system which not only works, but has been beneficial to many other players. Ron Golden contends that improvement in hitting comes from a dedicated willingness to diligently work on his hitting or pitching in a systematic format. That is the "AT-HOME" HITTING & PITCHING PROGRAM. There is a correlation between one who makes the financial commitment and success. He will likely make the sacrifices that are necessary for success. Think about it and send for you "AT-HOME" HITTING or PITCHING PROGRAM today.
