Muckdogs 18U Spring Team

 

The Muckdogs Baseball Club formulated a 18U Spring Team in the spring of 2020, and the team was an extremely competitive group.  We attracted several of the top players in the area to be a part of our spring group.  2024 will be an exciting spring, as we plan to build off the momentum that was created from our previous four seasons.  The 18U spring team is another pillar within the organization that will bridge to the 19U summer team.

It will be an experience for our players that will allow them to continue to play high level baseball, with qualified coaching, while still leaving them plenty of time to focus on their academics.  We have been in contact with some of the other top travel organizations in the country, such as Headfirst Baseball, who have put together comparable spring products together for their players and families.  We will work closely with these organizations to develop our spring teams.  We will play 30 games over the course of our twelve week spring season, that will provide competitive play, development and exposure for our athletes.   

We have also added a strength training component to the spring season, forging a relationship with with Sierra Strength And Speed. Rob Conaster has thirty years experience as a certified strength and conditioning coach. He and his staff will be working with the boys on a weekly basis. Incorporating functional training and conditioning during our spring season will help our players gain more strength and athleticism.

2024 18U Spring Season Outlook

The 18U spring team will play a thirty-game schedule over the course of the twelve week spring season.  We will make two trips to Phoenix, Arizona where we will get to play organizations from all across the country.  We will also make two trips to the Bay Area to play games against Headfirst Baseball.  The remainder of our games will be played at our home complex, Golden Eagle Regional Park in Sparks, Nevada.

We will practice three days a week as a team, with this group.  We will also have two days a week dedicated to individual work in small groups at our indoor facility.  The two days of individual work will be combined with our strength, functional and conditioning workouts at Sierra Strength And Speed.  We have formed a partnership with the owner, Rob Conaster. Rob is a NASM certified personal trainer, as well as a certified strength and conditioning coordinator.

Practices during the week will be indoors, at our indoor facility.  Outdoor practices will be at Golden Eagle Regional Park, the 28 million dollar, all-turf complex.  All home games will be played ar Golden Eagle Regional Park, as well.
