Five months of focused development designed for athletes who are serious about competing at the highest level and pursuing baseball beyond their current level.
The JM ELITE Winterball Program is designed for athletes who are serious about baseball and committed to developing their game to compete at the highest level.
The program is designed for 13U, 15U and 18U athletes who are currently playing baseball and have aspirations of playing at the next level.
Players receive focused instruction, purposeful repetitions and individualized attention throughout the program.
This isn't simply winter training.
It's preparation for what's next.
Training is designed to develop the skills and habits required at each position.

TRAIN THE ATHLETE. DEVELOP THE COMPETITOR.
Winterball goes beyond position-specific skills.
Athletes work on the physical and mental components that allow them to compete at a high level.
MENTALITY
Focused repetitions • Discipline • Competing with purpose
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
Build strength, athleticism and physical capacity.
SPEED & AGILITY
Improve movement, quickness and athletic ability.
ARM CARE & BODY CARE
Develop habits that help athletes take care of their bodies and prepare for the demands of the game.
The primary focus of Winterball is individual development.
The goal is to help each athlete become a better player who can bring those improvements back to their team.
Training connects skills directly to the game—helping players understand when and why a skill is used, how situations can change, and how to respond when those moments happen in competition.
When individual players improve, their teams become better too.
By the end of the winter program, athletes should be more developed in all areas of their game and better prepared to compete.
They will work toward developing:
Greater confidence
A deeper understanding of the game
Stronger work ethic
The ability to compete at a high level
Better understanding of game situations
The ability to focus on what they can control
Greater consistency in their preparation and performance
Most importantly, athletes will leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to continue getting better.
Jamie believes:
“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”
Winterball is built around that philosophy. Athletes are challenged to embrace the process, put in purposeful work and develop the discipline required to perform when it matters.
The goal isn't simply to be ready for the season.
The goal is to be better because of the work you put in all winter.
