    Ok I got your attention. If there are any players out there interested this is what I have in mind. "Free" Baseball Boot Camp at our HS. We start the day out early 8am.

    8am - The proper way to static stretch. We show the guys numerous types of static stretches for the entire body. We then use thera bands and show the many exercises that can be used to strengthen the arm and loosen it up before throwing.

    8:45am - Agility training. We then do agility training. Ladder drills. Cone drills. The players perform these drills and learn how to train on agility.

    9:15am - Core training. We show the many drills that can be done to strengthen the core. Med balls (numerous drills) and body weight core training. Tractor tire flips.

    9:45am - Hurdles for hip flexor's - increase your range of motion - increase your stride length - increase your flexibility - increase your speed.

    10:15am - Break to eat some vittles.

    10:45am - How to put the thunder in your bat. Exercises that you can do at home - take 15 minutes a night away from the x-box and put some power in your arsenal with 15 minutes a night.

    11:15am - Strengthen your arm and help prevent injuries. T's and Y's Training for the shoulder. These exercises if dont routinely at night before you go to bed in the comfort of your own home will dramatically make a difference. I will show you what you need ( Walmart for only 10.00 ) and how to do it.

    11:45am - Time to do what you should love to do. Hit! Hit! Hit! and hit some more. BP on the field. min 50 swings on the field with the top BP thrower in Granville County. We will let you have some fun. We will talk about hitting. We will talk about the mental side of hitting. We will talk about the swing and the swing process.

    1:45pm - Break to eat some more vittles.

    2:45pm - We will do what you should love to do. Hit! Hit! Hit! and hit some more. BP on the field. min of 50 more swings on the field. We will hit bp with a pitch count for situations. We will work on hitting backside , up the middle and pullside.

    4:45pm - We will wrap it up with questions and answers. Anything you want to talk about. Baseball related of course. Then if anyone wants to we will hit some more. If you can handle the weather depending on how cold it is that day.

    This is FREE. This is open to all baseball players. I encourage all players 14 and up to attend if you want to see what has helped several players over the past few years. I will have Chris Luck (Tamp Rays) RHP on hand to talk about pitching and mechanics. I hope to have Matt Harrison (Texas Rangers) lhp on hand as well. Rusty May (Liberty Univ) All State catcher from Southern Durham HS. JD Dutton (NC State) (Seattle Mariners) All State 3b lh hitter from Southern Durham on hand to talk to the hitters and watch you take your swings.

    This is not your traditional camp. This is about seeing and learning how to take your game to the next level of play. How to really work at getting Baseball stronger , faster , more agile and more flexible. These drills and instruction are designed to specifically relate to baseball actions.

    If you want to spend an entire day at the baseball field. If you want to be toast by the end of the day. If you want to be able to take some things back home with you that can make a difference in your game. And you love to hit. ITS FREE lets have some fun. PM me if you are GOING to come. Parents are welcome to be on the field to watch and listen when we instruct on the drills and talk about how to perform them.

    Do not come if you are not serious about getting better. Do not come if you do not want to listen and pay attention. Do not come if you are soft. Do not come if you do not like to hit. Do not if you do not like to shag. Do not come if you do not want to get better.

    Please come if you are serious about getting better. Please come if you love to hit and shag. And please come and have some fun and maybe we all can learn from each other. As long as there is (one) player that is coming we will do this on this date.

    SATURDAY - DEC 22nd 8:00 AM - If your on time your late. If your late dont bother coming. If your early you are on time.

    South Granville High School , Creedmoor NC.

    This really is unbelievable. The concern I have with this is people are not used to having anything free when it comes to baseball workouts or instruction. It may leave one to suspect the quality of this particular workout.

    Let me address that concern by saying this. For those that know Coach Kenny May, they realize he could care less about the money. His only reason for offering this is to help a player to become better. There are very few people across our state that would be willing to sacrifice their time and effort to do this. Coach May is one of them.

    I felt he should have charged something reasonable for the information, feedback and instructions he will be giving. You know how people are "you can't get something for nothing", but he refuses to even consider that. He wants to do this for our members that read this board and for anyone else that would like to participate.

    I can say this with certainty, the one's that are taking advantage of this opportunity will leave a better player and stating, "I can't believe this was for free!"

    Kudos to Coach May in initiating this workout with no benefit to him other than he appreciates being able to help someone that wants to become a better player

    Thank you Braves

    The response has been great. I will try to get a grasp on the total amount of kids coming as the date gets closer. So everyone that has PM me stay in touch. And if you want to come please let me know. It looks like we are going to have a great number of players coming. It should be alot of fun. Any pitchers out there that want to come and work with the pro guys coming please let me know. I can set up some bull pen sessions and pitching instruction while the other guys are hitting. I also will have a couple of former College catchers there to offer some specific catching instruction for any catchers that want it. Contact me asap if you are going to attend. Thanks

    Tie a bow on this package

    This sounds like the best Christmas present a ballplayer could get. Thanks Coach May.

    Great opportunity with a great coach......

    My son and I are driving 4+ hours because my son saw Coach's post and wanted to absorb as much as he could from this man. Coach May has had a tremendous influence on my son in the past year thru his workout programs.
    If you have never been around Coach May and had a chance to listen and absorb information, you need to attend, he is a special person and coach.

    Besides that, I want to see Jeff and Pratt take BP.
