NOCA’s ACADEMY is one of the more special programs that we provide. It mixes all of our College Venue and Prep Venue Players in a very unique and dynamic instructional program.
This Fall, we are also bringing in Brattain Performance to operate a Speed & Agility Class and we are Filming the first (2) Academies in order to create Online Player’s Recruiting Profiles.
NOCA’s College Venue & Prep Venue Players are already Enrolled as part of their Fall NOCA Package.
Academy days are some of the best moments in NOCA Baseball. These very unique training sessions teach the dynamics of each defensive position. From Pitching Biomechanics, Arm Care, Off-speed, Catching, and Hitting. Our fall Sessions are intended to build on each other each week, so we’re constantly teaching New Material. NOCA brings in every NOCA coach and consultants. Players determine their classes and circulate from class to class each week. You can review the full itinerary.
Stage 1 takes about 80 minutes in Total. Each player chooses his own Classes to attend in whatever order he wants. It breaks down into (3) Classes at 20 minutes each with a 5 minute break in between Classes. So players can attend (3) different Classes or just hang at the same Class for all (3) rotations.
Outfielders, Middles, Corners, and Catchers are being Filmed for Player’s Online Video Recruiting Profile. We may also film the Pitchers doing their Classes.
The Classes
(3) Pitching Classes: Plyocare, Javelin Drills Series, Curveball/Change Up• Middle Infielders• 3rd Basemen• 1st Basemen• Outfielders• Catchers• Speed & Agility (provided by Brattain Performance).

Live On-Field Batting Practice. Every Position Player receives (2) Rounds of (5) Swings on the field and it is being Filmed for each Player’s Online Video Recruiting Profile.
Warm Up BP. This allows players to take a few extra swings during this period.
Live Bullpens will be in both Bullpens. Cameras will be set up for each Player’s Online Video Recruiting Profile. (8) to (10) Pitches. Fastball, Curveball, Other.
60 Times. Players will be allowed to run a 60. This will be “competition” oriented as players will run against each other. A camera here for each Player’s Online Video Recruiting Profile.
This is the layer before Mechanics. How does your body handle the movements being asked? Can you even attain, let alone Repeat, the Mechanics being taught by your coach? This is the biggest disconnect for players when receiving instruction. NOCA addresses the Biomechanics of Pitching through unique athletic movements that promote Mechanical Efficiency and a Repeatable Pattern. Joey Cabeceiras directs.
We cover the biomechanics of the Curveball and Change-Up. Tilt, Axis, Spin Rate, Magnus Effect, Release Point, Wrist Version, and Multiple Grips.
The use of cutting-edge materials and manufacturing processes in the design and production of Elements_Efi has resulted in a product that is both durable and sustainable, reducing the environmental impact of its use.
We define Arm Care as Pattern Awareness & Pattern Enhancement. When you "know" your Pattern, you realize when it's disconnected. Arm Care utilizes a Towel Drill Series, Bands Regimen, Heavy Ball Decel Drops (Not Thrown or Held), and Medicine Ball Rotational Drills to increase Spine Stability and Limb Symmetry.
Players learn Prep Steps to Groundball Reads, Footwork to Release, Push Thru's to Funnels, Separation to Release. We build into Double Play Feeds and Double Play Turns. Players learn both sides of Middle Infield.
