Camps and Clinic
At The U, we’re on a mission to redefine sports development and provide all athletes with the tools, training, and guidance they need to excel on and off the field
Our vision is rooted in addressing the shortcomings of the current youth sports landscape, where a play-heavy
model often prioritizes tournaments over skill development, and where the true investment in a
young athlete’s future is often overlooked. Our founder and CEO, Blake Trahan, a seasoned
professional in the world of baseball, understands the importance of comprehensive
development and skill refinement. Camps and Clinics emphasizing quality practice, skill work,
and strategic training will be consistently held at The U facility. The U will put on a diverse range
of camps and clinics that will involve the obvious hitting camps, fielding camps, and pitching
camps, but also sprinting/running form camps, running back camps, lineman camps, weight
lifting camps and much more. At The U, we believe that every athlete deserves the opportunity
to reach their full potential whether their goal is to make their high school team or make a career
in a professional sport. The U Team is working hard to create multiple elite processes to develop
and teach inside of a camp and clinic dynamic where time is limited! Our camps are fast paced,
efficient, and developed to leave the camper with an immense amount of knowledge and
repetitions in a short amount of time. Explore our upcoming camps and clinics below and take
the first step towards unlocking your full potential with The U. We can’t wait to see you inside the
facility! Please sign up for an upcoming camp that you wish to attend!
Swing Development Clinic
A Mechanical approach to making hitting easier
The U’s Swing Development Clinic will be a clinic that would assume a multi-hour approach to developing
better swing mechanics. Each camper will go through a detailed but simplified process on how
to create an elite swing pattern. Much of the hitting world is bombarded by tons of information
that can create a cloudy swing journey for all hitters. There has never been a more important
time to find information that is “right” and works for you. There has never been a more important
time to simplify your belief with conviction, so the access to unlimited information doesn’t keep
you from taking strides to being an elite hitter. A confused hitter is a bad hitter. The U coaches
have put together a swing process that they believe can help any player at any age make
mechanical adjustments that can get them on track to being a great hitter. Hitting has always
been one of the toughest things to do in sports, but creating an elite swing pattern, fixing the
kinetic sequence, and getting rid of inefficient moves will help to make hitting much easier.
Come join us in the Swing Development Clinic to learn our swing process and many drills that
can assist you in your career as a hitter.

team can do all common lifts properly and move correctly within the weight room. Being able to
connect your brain to the specific muscle/muscle group and conscious movements
(Mind-Muscle Connection) will yield greater growth, less injuries, and more efficient results.
Benefits of being able to correctly perform different exercises with the correct biomechanics are:
- Decrease Injuries
- Muscle to Tendon growth ratio
- More efficient facilitation and growth of the muscle
- Better recruitment of the muscle when in various situations
- Improved coordination
- Improved cognitive development
Attached to this clinic will be a segment that focuses on diet and nutrition. This segment will
inform athletes about the important correlation between nutrition and exercise, as well as
pre-workout and post-workout meal choices. Nutrition is arguably the most important part of
exercise, no matter if you are a weekend warrior or an elite athlete. Your nutrition can be the
advantage the athlete needs to stand out over other competition. The U trainers will take you
through possible meal plans depending on your body type, age, and goals.
