Kinetic Connections was invited to participate in one of the largest free baseball clinics in the United States.  Lake Forest Police Department sponsored there annual all day baseball clinic on February 28, 2010.  Kinetic Connections manned the speed and agility station.  We had the good fortune to work with approximately 25o young athletes.

At the end of the camp all athletes were given the opportunity to test their skills and compete at the various stations.  Batspeed and Kinetic Connections donated free training sessions to the winners as well as free training sessions for the raffle.  We look forward to working with these lucky winners at Batspeed in the near future.  Contact us to begin your training sessions.
