Diamond Lab is once again proud to present its off-season term time training programme for players who want to take their game to the next level in the lead-up to the 2026/2027 season. This programme will create the opportunity for players to improve both baseball and non-baseball specific skills as well as understanding of the game during the off season. The Foundation Programme is focused on building quality fundamental baseball skills and knowledge. Every player that goes through the off-season with us will start their next club season confident and well prepared from the very first pitch. The Development Programme is filled with work on mobility, strength, and speed for overall athleticism. We also work on arm strength, foot speed, bat speed, and mechanics (pitching, hitting, and fielding) for baseball specific skills. Beyond these performance-based elements, there will be attention paid towards injury prevention and arm health, as well as learning and understanding how to better use your body in the game. Lead instructors for the programme are Dan Tan and Toshiki Nakao. Coach Dan and Coach Toshiki have vast experience in the baseball world, locally and internationally, with Dan recently being appointed of the New Zealand national team, the Diamondblacks. Both coaches have a firm understanding of long-term athlete development and take pride in prioritising fundamentals. Joining Coach Dan and Coach Toshiki will be a number of other knowledgeable coaches who have a proven track record of bringing out the best in their players. We’ve been lucky enough to once again secure the wonderful GL Weir Centre indoor venue at Mount Albert Grammar School.
