In
addition to week-long camps, Ken Ulrich and his professional staff
are available for private lessons in all parts of the game. With
the help of a staff member, each player will be able to develop
their own lesson plan, based on what element of the game they would
like to improve on the most. From one-on-one, to small groups of
two, three, or four, to entire team practices, the following aspects
of baseball will be taught.

rhythm, weight shift, stride separation, plate coverage.
