Force Ohio Winter Pitching & Catching Development

Command the game. Control the moment.

The Force Ohio Pitching & Catching Academy is a nine-session winter program for committed athletes ages 10U through high school. Athletes train in 10U–13U and 14U–High School groups, with instruction tailored to their stage of development.

Pitchers build repeatable mechanics, fastball command, and secondary pitches. They also learn arm-care habits and how to attack hitters with a plan.

Catchers develop receiving, blocking, and throwing skills. They also learn to call pitches and lead from behind the plate.
