Our son loves going to camp at D-BAT and looks forward to the time he gets to spend there! He’s developed his skills and got to spend time having fun playing a game he loves. We are glad he has a place to go with great coaches who make it challenging but fun!

This place is a hidden jewel! Our family plans to come often. The batting cage is fun, staff are welcoming and helpful, and equipment is provided. Trying softball gave me a new respect for the game — can’t wait to come back!

D-BAT camps and clinics are always awesome – my 9 year old son loves attending. His hitting, pitching, and fielding have noticeably improved as well. D-BAT is a great option for keeping skills up and learning new skills. Personnel are all great too. A+ for sure.

Great facility with clean space, quality equipment, and flexible pitching machines. Everything is easy to use, including the card reader. Friendly, helpful staff make it an easy place to recommend.

Behind the Plate is Where Leaders Are Made
Your kid works harder than anyone on the field. They squat every pitch. They block balls in the dirt. They manage the entire game from behind the plate. And most of the time, nobody talks about it.
This clinic is for them.
WHO THIS IS FOR
✅ Youth catchers who want to get better, not just busier
✅ Kids grouped by age AND ability, so your child works with athletes at their level
✅ Beginners who are still learning the position and need a confident foundation
✅ Experienced catchers ready to sharpen what they already know
No one gets lost here. No one gets overlooked.
WHAT YOUR CATCHER WILL WORK ON
🎯 Receiving and framing pitches
🎯 Blocking technique in the dirt
🎯 Footwork and throwing mechanics
🎯 Game management and communication behind the plate
🎯 The mental side of catching, because this position demands focus
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Our coaches do not just run drills. They teach your child how to think through the position. Catching is more than physical skill. It is reading a game, leading a pitcher, and staying locked in for every single pitch. We build that.
Your child will leave with real corrections they felt in their body, not just heard in a lecture. They will also leave knowing they are capable. That part matters just as much to us as the mechanics.
A NOTE TO PARENTS 🙌
We hear this often: “My kid shuts down when they get corrected.” We get it. That is why our coaches are trained to build up before they break down. Every athlete in this clinic gets coached with honesty and encouragement in equal measure. Confidence is not a bonus here. It is part of the curriculum.
