Baseball - Infielders and outfielders will select their defensive positions in relationship to the anticipated speed of the ball when they field it. On a diamond that is too large for their peers, they will move in. The first and third base players move in front of their bases, the outfielders play disproportionately closer to the infield than a Major Leaguer.

In one sense, all that a transition diamond involves is to move the bases in closer to home plate to match the defensive positions taken by the fielders. In doing so, the distance between the outfielders and the baselines, and the position of the infielders relative to the bases, is in direct proportion to that assumed by Major League players and permits younger players to play the game as it was designed to be played.

Football - Safety is our primary concern. Many of the exercises, drills and team rules are there to ensure your player is physically and mentally fit for football. Each player is unique and will develop at their own pace.
