Oshawa, On

On Wednesday November 3, 2004 the SpinMaster Pitching/Catching School, in 
its second year of operation, will again open it's doors to all prospective 
female and male  pitchers and catchers of all ages who have a desire to 
learn and further refine themselves at these defensive positions.

Pitchers will receive instruction from Head Instructor Mal Swift, with 47 
years of fastball experience. I will be assisted by my  two pitching sons 
Jason, a lefty, with 28 years of pitching experience and Ryan, who has 
pitched  for 22 years. Both junior Swifts were in the top 10 pitchers for 
2004 Oshawa City and District Softball Association which consists of 16 teams.

Catchers will be instructed by Matthew Swift, my middle son, who has 25 
years of playing experience. This summer Matthew caught for his brothers 
with the Whitby Eagle Intermediate Men's team.

Pitchers will learn proper position, ball grip, arm action, hip 
thrust/rotation, follow through and fielding position. Pitches taught will 
be peel drop, peel change drop, twist drop, twist change drop, curve, 
change curve, and knuckle ball to appropriate ages.

Pitchers must provide their own catchers. Only catchers taking instruction 
will pay the catcher fee.

Catchers will learn ready position, relaxed position, catching above and 
below waist, catchers stance, bat clearance, catching ball, grip and step, 
the throw, follow through, blocking balls, making a play at the plate 
(receiving throw / making tag ) and catching a foul ball.

The School will be at Durham College's gym on Wednesday night for one hour, 
either from 8 to 9 pm  or 9 - 10 pm according to age group. The gym is at 
the north west corner of Durham College's campus at the Athletic Centre.

Registration will be on a first come, first come basis. The cost of the 20 
nights will be $300.00 / player, paid before or on November 3/04 first
