Whitecaps Baseball will be holding tryouts this Saturday August 3rd @8:00AM  and next Saturday August 10th @9:00AM at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy in Suffolk, VA.  The tryouts will be pro-style format and we ask that you...

Cabbagedad asked the following question in the Power360 thread. Rather than hijack the thread, I thought I would respond and start a separate conversation here. cabbagedad posted: So, Matt, maybe you can provide some additional advice. Apologies to others for diversion of OP but I didn't want to PM and prevent others from any shared information. Our HS field is not at the HS campus and the campus fitness facility is too small and lacks proper equipment anyway. We try to put together a plan...

Can someone please clarify for me how a player gets his name onto this list? We were reading up on the NCAA webside about this IRL, it's not clear if a player must get registered for each school of interest on the IRL or just one school can register a player for the IRL and then he's good to go for all schools (?). This is very confusing to me and seems some changes were made starting this year. Thanks in advance.

I think the IRL is the school's reporting and they will put a kid on the list when/if they wish to have the NCAA review eligibility. This is different than the player registering with the NCAA eligibility center and getting an initial read on eligibility for the various divisions. Does that make sense given what you have read and what you are trying to accomplish?

Your student athlete can register with the NCAA Eligibility Center and complete the questionnaire on eligibility. The athlete will receive a clearing house ID number. Once your student athlete graduates they will request for the final transcript from the High School. The HC or RC will will then request the information from the NCAA for you student athlete information to determine eligibility.. That's how I remember the process. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your responses. The NCAA Eligibility page that explains the IRL doesn't make it very clear except that there were changes that took place in 2016. I imagine when someone is really interested in a player it will all unfold in the right order. I hope.

Nice post

Thanks Matt! This is awesome. Lots of detail, organization and reasoning. Very much appreciated. Some follow questions... We have occasionally included yoga and some of the P90X stuff - any opinions there? I've been trying to think of solutions for makeshift equipment at the field to allow for box jumps and pull-up/chin-ups. Any ideas? You mention "shot put" with med balls. Is that literal? We do several drills with them but I'm not familiar with this one.

I personally like yoga. If it were me, I would put yoga and other flexibility/mobility work at the end of the workout. P90X can be good from a conditioning standpoint and for some variety, especially in your situation with limited equipment. Crossfit has some bodyweight workouts that you can implement as well - I have some personal criticisms of Crossfit (the random nature of the workouts to "prepare for the unknown", baseball players should stay away from kipping pull-ups, and I am not a...

I'd add in jumping rope and keeping an individual log book to track progress. The coaches should check weekly and adjust as necessary. Make sure they eat and sleep as much as possible. If you do hill sprints or run bleachers, make sure you run both ways - up and down. Time them for reps and log into your book to track progress.

We're conditioning 4x a week and use the other days to focus on fundraising to get more equipment. Once a week we get weight room time at a local community college. We do the 5x5 routine. We also have 41" pullup bands that go from 15-300lbs that can be used for squats, deadlifts and chest presses. We have agility ladders, cones, hurdles, medicine balls, jump ropes and plyo boxes. We mix in other sports once a week for cross training.... basketball drills for footwork and timing, handball for...

5x5 is a quality rep scheme for building strength. For HS athletes getting into the gym 1x a week, you should be able to keep a linear progression for a decent length of time. In other words, if the starting point is right, you should be able to add an incremental amount of weight each week for several months to each athlete's lifts, depending on their training history. Good on you for mixing in the other sports in the off-season. I think it's important for building more well-rounded...
