TRAINING & SEASON
The training is set up differently for each coach. They will let you know the times you will have your training for the semester and when your competitions are. You will have practice 6 days out of the week and up to 20 hours of week of training. This includes the hitting practices, individual practices with the coach, weights and many other things.
The season starts in the spring semester from January to May. This gives you the chance to play some tournaments in the summer if you would like. Normally you have about 20-30 games in the springtime with about 4-6 games in the fall semester. If you are playing well, you have the option in the fall to play some futures in the USA that some universities allow you to play.
The coaches are certified coaches and are full-time coaches that are paid, by the university so they are there for the athletes to make them better.
