Velocity Groups

Learn methods proven to boost velocity from instructors who have experienced it. Last year, high school athletes gained 2-4 mph in just 6 weeks! Even better, they carried the velo and new skills into successful school and summer seasons. While these specific results aren’t guaranteed, your athlete will receive the tools to throw harder, regardless of their position.

EPA has a staff of instructors that have college and professional playing experience and have turned into effective teachers of their craft.
