Conditioning: Strength, Agility and Power Program
Instruction will focus on the organization, connection, and speed of body movements that occur in a healthy and efficient throwing delivery. Throwing components such as intent, sync, momentum, tempo, rhythm, posture, efficiency, arm interaction, pelvic loading, and scapular movements will be introduced. Velocity and command will be emphasized. Weight training for pitchers is NOT body building! It is not usually the pitcher's large muscles that break down. Injury usually occurs in the smaller muscles and connective tissue of the shoulder; therefore, Next Level training is considered to be more functional fitness training. The number one objective at Next Level Baseball Academy is to enhance performance and decrease the risk of injury. Students should attend at least twice (2) per week. Lesson - 90 minutes
Hitting Program: (Rotational) Instruction will focus on the fundamental aspects of body movement for the elite level swing. We incorporate a combination of hitting tee, soft-toss, and live pitching in order to develop the best hitters possible. We also train using many, many other drills and tools. Conditioning is minimal with this program. There are 8 lanes available for hitting at Next Level Baseball Academy. Students should attend at least twice (2) per week. Lesson - 60 minutes
Conditioning: Agility and Power Program ALL SPORTS! The number one objective of our Conditioning Program is to enhance a player's functional strength, explosive power, quickness, and their overall 'agility' to play the game of baseball. We teach fundamental athletic movements and basic quickness mechanics. Includes proper dynamic warm up and stretching with introduction to full body conditioning via integrated movements. (Included in the Pitching Program) $25/lesson or $200/12 lessons Lesson - 45 minutes

The goal of Next Level Baseball is to communicate a love for the game of baseball through physical and mental strength and conditioning. Conditioning workouts are quick, spirited, and integrated into teaching the skills of the game. Success on the field is a result of preparation and commitment. It requires hard work, dedication, and most of all, training with the proper instruction.
NLB, along with some major league teams and numerous college teams, uses the "The Combat Pitcher" program and the "Athletic Pitcher Program" designed by Ron Wolforth at Pitching Central in Houston, Texas. www.texasbaseballranch.com/ & www.http://www.combatpitching.com/
Coach Forbes attends the "Ultimate Pitching Coaches Boot Camp" http://www.pitchingcentral.com/coachesbootcampdec08.html every year in Houston, Texas and has personally trained with renowned Pitching coach Ron Wolforth of the CAN-AM Sports Academy in Houston Texas. NLB has adopted the training concepts developed and taught in Wolforth's "Athletic Pitcher Program".This is a very comprehensive pre-season, during season, and off-season conditioning program that takes the pitcher through a very structured series of total body strength and conditioning exercises. The program makes extensive use of resistance tubing, medicine balls, incline and decline balance boards, retrograde running, flat ground throwing, and bull pen work. The end goal of this program is to develop a pitcher with more strength, power, flexibility and dynamic balance. We believe that these attributes will result in better control, increased velocity and much fewer arm problems.

LAFAYETTE — Southern University baseball coach Roger Cador looked up at the cool, rainy sky above M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field on Tuesday night and found the perfect description for his team’s performance against the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
Southern starter Chase Richard, a senior lef-thander, pitched two innings, allowing six hits and four runs as his season’s earned run average ballooned to 16.00.
Cador said he was encouraged with the pitching of relievers Troy Laborde and Cody Hall, who held the Cajuns hitless in a combined 22/3 innings.
