We are very excited to announce we have contracted 2SP as Seaholm’s 2023 winter training facility. This is the fifth consecutive year we will be holding the Seaholm winter training at 2SP.

The winter baseball training training is available on a volunteer basis to all 9-12 grade Seaholm Baseball players. The eight-week program will begin on Sunday, January 8, 2023 and conclude on Sunday, March 12, 2023. The training will begin at 2:30pm sharp and last 90 minutes per session. Tryouts begin on Monday, March 13.

The Sunday training dates are as follows: Jan 8, 15, 22, 29; Feb 5, 26; March 5,12

The eight workouts will focus on a high degree of repetitions including hitting, fielding, and throwing.

A 2SP Coach will facilitate each workout, supplemented by Seaholm baseball parent volunteers.

The eight-week program will cost $170 per player. The payment is due no later than Sunday, December 18. Please note, the December 18 date is the last day I will accept payment as final planning (facility/coaching) is based on the number of players.
