The Ripken Way™
Ripken Baseball instructional programs combine the wisdom of Cal Ripken, Sr., and his teachings with the 33 years of major league experience accumulated by both Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken, creating memorable baseball experiences for youth players and coaches alike.
Keep it Simple
Young baseball players must crawl before they can walk and walk before they can run. Teaching that is too complicated is difficult to remember and can result in frustration.
Make it Fun
Learning doesn't have to be tedious. Drills and instruction are structured so players enjoy themselves while learning.
Games also promote fun and are an important part of Ripken Baseball programs.
Celebrate the Individual
No two players are alike, so why should they be treated as if they are? Each player has his or her own comfort zones, strengths and style.
Individualism is promoted as long as certain fundamental approaches are followed.
Explain Why
"Why" is a young person's favorite question. Young players have an innate need to understand the reason behind the teaching. Lessons that make sense will stick with them.
