Connecticut Gators ~1-1 Lessons ~ Baseball Clinics ~ Softball Clinics ~ Summer Camps ~ Facility Rentals
Welcome to the core!
The Core and the Connecticut Gators have created a competitive youth development program for baseball and softball players ages 5-14 built around a simple idea: learn the game, compete the right way, and love playing it.
We develop skilled, confident players who are prepared to compete at a high level- while teaching strong fundamentals, teamwork, leadership, and respect for the game.
We want our players to work hard, compete hard, and have fun doing it.
Build the player. Build the teammate. Love the game
CONNECTICUT GATORS
Spring, summer, & fall teams 8U-15U. We train longer, harder, and more effectively! We develop better ball players and better leaders.

1-1 Lessons
30-minute or 60-minute lessons in packages of 1, 5, or 10. Our instructors are fantastic! Train in the areas of hitting, pitching, infield, or catching.
Coach Pitch Clinics
Coach-pitch players will love the energy and positive feedback as we drill them in hitting, throwing, baserunning, fielding, pop-ups, and more. These are outstanding winter and pre-season programs preparing for the upcoming spring season. These popular clinics host players from Milford, Orange, Bethany, Woodbridge, West Haven, Stratford, and Shelton. They list as Amity and Milford, but other players are welcome to attend.
HITTING CLINICS
Our winter hitters will work on their swings in the off-season with three separate options. These 5-week clinics takes place in November/December, January/February, and February/March and will cover the stance, weight shift, head position, hand position, contact position, finish, and bat speed development. Players can work on their swings throughout the winter as clinics 1, 2, and 3 allow for 15 weeks of training.
CATCHERS CLINICS
Catchers will focus on their stances, receiving, throwing arm action, throwing footwork, transfers, and blocking. This is the perfect clinic to prepare young catchers for the spring season.
PITCHING CLINICS
Young pitchers will refine their leg lifts, lead arm action, throwing arm action, landing, finish, and release points. This is an AWESOME program for your pitchers preparing for the spring.
INFIELD CLINICS
Infielders will work hard on glove position, glove presentation, funneling, chopping, transfers, backhands, proper arm action, working through the baseball, and vision.
