Grit Academy Athletics

What if one small change to your stance meant more home runs next season?

Swing adjustments aren't just something we work on at GRIT Academy. It happens even at the highest level of the game. Matt Olson and Dansby Swanson are two of the best hitters in baseball and they work on optimizations on an ongoing basis.

GRIT instructor and owner, Jason Little, shared his thoughts on this on our blog this week because it's something he talks about with athletes and parents every single day. The best hitters in the world never decide their swing is done. They keep refining.

If your athlete has been in the same stance for a few years and nobody has really examined it, this one is worth five minutes of your time.

GRIT Games Summer Camp is back and ready for high-energy competition and fun 😎

We’re the only camp in the area that runs a full week and gives you an extra hour each day, 9am to 1pm. That extra time means more reps, more coaching, more real improvement - - and more fun!

Players will train in hitting, throwing, fielding, base running, and defense through fast-paced drills, stations, and competitive games. We keep groups small so athletes stay moving, get constant coaching, and build confidence every day. Expect competitions, challenges, and even some water games to keep things fun and engaging.

💥 $250 for the full week
That’s just $50 per day or $12.50 per hour for professional coaching in a high-rep, competitive environment.

📍 Central Park Fields
Players should bring a bat, glove, cleats, mask (softball), sunscreen, and a snack. A short snack break is built into the schedule.
