Why IYG Softball?
My name is Tyler LeClair and I’m the new owner of IYG Softball. Joe Frostick was the original founder of the program and my goal is to build on the foundation that he left behind. In just over 1 year as owner of IYG Baseball we took the baseball program from 3 teams to 9 teams. I believe that happened because families and players find a lot of value in what we offer our members. My plan for the softball program is just as big. We will offer things to our players to help them that other programs will not. Stick around and find out what lies ahead for us.
At IYG we will place a huge emphasis on developing the entire person. Our goal is to help young women grow into respectful, highly functioning members of society. We strive to teach attitude, work ethic, hustle and passion at a high level. Softball will end for everyone at some point but life goes on. That is why our emphasis is placed on the person first.
At the facility we are making big changes that will offer a very welcoming environment for players and families to want to come. We are replacing turf and cages. We are cleaning up and organizing. We are making our training equipment more accessible than ever. I want this to be a training facility your daughters ask you to go to constantly.
We have plans for new technology before the spring season starts. We have Rapsodo hitting and will be introducing Rapsodo pitching very soon. This allows us to see all sorts of metrics on the girl’s swing and pitching mechanics in order to help make changes to help their bodies move more efficiently. Our end goal is to get as much out of swing and pitching mechanics as possible. Understanding what those metrics are is step 1. We are working on upgrading our weight room with new/updated equipment to continue to push our fitness programs. We will also be adding updated pitching machines. Our training equipment is second to none: Blaze Pods, Heco Stix, Flat gloves, Heavy bats, Pro Velocity Bat, flat bats, weighted balls….the list goes on and on.
To help develop your daughters skills in softball we offer 2 practices per week and fitness (weight training, plyometric training, flexibility). The girls also have access to our facility during our open facility times which are 7 days per week in the off season. They can hit in the cages, get a bullpen in or a workout in our weight room. We offer development programs, clinics, camps and other extras at a reduced rate for our members. We put on free classes for our players (Introduction to Social Media and Recruiting, Nutrition, Weight Training Basics, etc) We are going to provide every opportunity we can think of to help your daughter physically and mentally in this game. I have developed an online data base of drills our players can do at home to help improve their game. They no longer have to work blind, they can have a plan.
We are building a coaching staff of dedicated coaches who care about our players from all angles. Our coaches have all coached for multiple years, love this sport and you can tell in the way they coach.
I could go on and on about the positive outlook of IYG Softball but you need to come see what we are doing. Feel free to stop by our facility at any time and talk.
