Top Gun Baseball - Sykesville is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

We hope this finds you and your families doing well. We have been working hard behind the scenes to get kids back to some baseball/softball.

Topic: Free Baseball Training:  Tee Time with Coach Isaiah & Coach Peyton
Time: Thursday, Apr 23, 2020 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)The PLAN: I spoke with some of you about this BETA test of the online training curriculum that Top Gun is putting together to help get some kids off the couch and practicing a little baseball/softball again.  This is our first crack at it.  Our first Zoom training session and you have been personally selected to attend!  What will you need?  Preferably a safe location for your child to watch and mimic our coaches as they go through a variety of hitting drills off of a tee.  So, a safe location in front of a laptop, iPad, etc, a tee, a net to hit into, some tennis balls or whiffle balls or baseballs (whatever is best suited for your hitting environment).  Watch for our future ZOOM invites to other FREE classes (speed & agility, fielding & throwing mechanics, catchers training, pitchers training, & more).

Don't have a tee, net, or more than a ball or two?  We have some equipment for sale (Tanner tees, Franklin pop-up sock nets, Baden baseballs) and I did a recon trip to the Eldersburg Walmart they also have anything and everything you might need in stock.  Call me to arrange a time for curbside pick at Top Gun for anything you might want to purchase from us.
Join Zoom Meeting    (have a friend that you think might want to join in the fun, sure share the invite!)

Prior to the meeting, please ensure that you create a nice, safe space with a safe video angle for your kids to attend.  We don't want to see a ball go through a window or into a laptop.We hope to see you online soon!

Thanks, Jon

“The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again.”
