This week's feature is on Dale Curry, one of our top instructors at the Warminster-Hatboro facility.
All Star Baseball welcomes Dale Curry as one of our top, new instructors. Dale is already building a following of young players at the Warminster-Hatboro academy in just three months with ASBA.
"I really enjoy working with young players and building on their strengths," said Curry. "I analyze each player's current skills and how to improve on them. I don't believe in starting over from scratch or changing everything. When you start with a good foundation, players can really improve a lot through a series of lessons."
Curry grew up in Northeast Philadelphia and still resides there. He attended Father Judge High School and starred as a catcher for the Crusaders, earning a lot of top honors such as All-Catholic, All-City and All-State. He then moved to play in the Junior College World Series while at Gloucester County Community College in NJ, and he helped his team win the national championship there.At Alvernia College in Reading, Curry played two years and continued to stand out as a top catcher and hitter. He was named All-Conference, All-Region and also an All-American while playing for Alvernia.
"I played other positions but catching was always my favorite," said Curry. "I really enjoyed working with pitchers and helping to control the game."
With All Star Baseball, Curry teaches catcher skills, hitting and throwing.
"I'm really enjoying the whole teaching experience," said Dale. "I'm working a lot with players 7 to 13 years of age, but I'm also working with older players who are high school sophomores and juniors. I try to work with each player on hand position and swinging through the hitting zone to improve both contact and power. It's great to see the improvement that the kids can make with hard work and lots of repetitions."
To schedule a series of lessons with Dale, please contact our Warminster staff at 1-215-672-1826 or stop by the academy and sign up in person.
