2026 Summer Mini-Camps for Pitchers

Step 1 of 3: Submit

These 3-hour sessions will give pitchers the opportunity to work on specific areas of their game through our Mechanics Foundations, Mechanics for Power, Velocity Development, and Game Day Command mini-camps

Catchers are NOT needed for any of the mini-camps.

All sessions will be led by Myndie Berka, who will be assisted by BreakThrew alumni. The coach to pitcher ratio will be 1/6 or lower for all of these mini-camps!

NOTE:
These Mini-Camps are open to girls of all skill levels, 7 and older.

June 15th Mini-Camps:
Mechanics Foundations Camp: This session will focus on helping pitchers build a stronger, more repeatable foundation. We’ll break down key areas like posture and balance, arm circle, timing, stride, drive, and overall body control. Pitchers will learn drills and movements that help create better muscle memory and improve consistency.

Mechanics for Power Camp: This session will focus on helping pitchers learn how to use their body more efficiently to create more power. We’ll work on things like lower body drive, timing, power transfer, explosiveness, and mechanics that support stronger, more powerful movement down the mound. Pitchers will leave with drills they can continue using at home to build better movement and more explosiveness.

June 16th Mini-Camps:
Velocity Development Camp: This session will focus on helping pitchers train for more speed and explosiveness. We’ll cover a variety of tools and training methods that may include arm speed work, long toss, loading drills, harness work, over/under load ball work, explosive circuits, and other ways to build power and velocity safely and intentionally.

Game Day Command Camp: This session will focus on helping pitchers compete more effectively in games by improving command, changing speeds, and building more trust and confidence in the circle. Pitchers will work on hitting spots, controlling the zone, and learning when to attack the zone versus when to throw a believable ball. They’ll also learn how to throw a variety of change-ups and when to use them to disrupt timing and keep hitters off balance.

*Each pitcher attending will receive a t-shirt and camp note
