Taiwan Baseball Program
We host elementary school students and coaches from Taiwan to take part of a 2-week baseball training program in the Bay Area for a cultural exchange learning opportunity.
Sixteen 11-year-old players and two coaches from Taiwan’s Xin Pu Elementary School Team took part of this program. Joining this baseball training program not only cultivates the country’s future baseball talents, fosters teamwork and character education among students, and develops baseball as a local sport, but also promotes the vigorous growth of the regional baseball industry.
The two-week off-site training program primarily focuses on strengthening students’ basic skills in batting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning. Additionally, national coaches will have the chance to learn new teaching methods from the program, led by the pitching coach of the US World Baseball Committee (WBSC). The program includes specific position-based training, use of local baseball training center equipment, participation in local Little League and Travel ball games and tournaments (minimum six to ten games), as well as an opportunity to attend an MLB game.
