Questions

Once you are a member, are you always in this program? Not at all, it will be very difficult to continue this program year round. Once you go through it two times, you may want to take a break from it. Just demonstrate your entry level skills again and you can take up another membership period.

What if you aren't a member or elect not to continue with another 8 weeks of training? No issues at all here. You just go back to the normal Pitch a Fit lesson schedule and when you want to do it again, then just meet the entry level skills and begin.

I have another sport that I play and it will be hard for me to practice 4 times a week. This is fine, just don't sign-up for the 8 week program. Just go back to scheduling 2 lessons a month. You may find that during this time period you will be assigned to another pitching instructor. Mr. Tim's will be focusing on the membership students primarily.

How do I become a member? Notify Mr. Tim that you want to demonstrate the entry level skills. Once you demonstrate them and a membership is open, you will be offered a membership.

What if I can't practice 4 times a week? This program is made for success and practice is a major part of it. You must be able to practice 4 times a week on your own. You also must be able to exercise 2 times a week.

Do you have to be a member to get training by Mr. Tim? Not at all, you are still eligible to sign up for lessons as always. Four sessions a month are reserved for members only. Mr. Tim's primary students starting September 2007 will be the membership students.

When does it start? November 2008 Those interested in joining the program must demonstrate your entry level skills by the first week of Oct 08. Once you informed Mr. Tim of wanting to be a member, then a time will be arrange for you review.
