Assessment:
The assessment for the C2 Catching Academy is required and included in the price for the High School Advanced Academy and optional for the Youth Advanced Academy. In this assessment players will be tested on hip and shoulder mobility, overhead squat, grip strength and catching metrics. Catching metrics will include: pop time, exchange time, throwing velocity and lateral blocking. Athletes will be given personalized mobility exercises to increase athleticism behind the plate along with arm care based off of their assessment numbers.
