Here is a quick tutorial on creating the best secondary stance for you and maximizing your explosiveness to make plays.
Here is another amazing play that Vogt makes, throwing out would be base-stealer Howie Kendrick (who had an amazing jump). The pre-pitch, feet, transfer and quick release….Its all there.

This play was clocked between a 1.77 and a 1.81. Just another reason why Stephen Vogt is our favorite MLB catcher. It was so good to see him on their trip to Anaheim.He makes this play look easy due to his dedication and the mind-set that drives him to always get better. It’s all about learning and implementing efficiency into the craft of catching.
A quick lesson in Receiving. It is a skill to be developed. Will you put the time in? Do you know how to put the proper training in? Work-ethic is learned behavior. The skill development and feel is the part that NLCA provides for catchers.

This freshmen shows good hands for receiving the FB (arm/side), but it’s important to note how adding proper base-sway helps your glove work around the pitch with ease. It’s the little things...“If you can’t explain something to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it well enough” -Albert EinsteinAwesome collaboration post with @andyymz. Always finding ways to help catchers.A common mindset to receiving is to meet the ball at the spot and avoid being late. Catchers change your cue and add a hand load to help get your mitt around/under the pitch early. “Get beyond the pop location” and help yourself make one fluid motion back to the strike zone as you catch the pitch.This lateral blocking series is one of our favorites to train. There is an important anticipation element and it is all about adding range to your growing blocking perimeter.Huge shout out to @gpickit @shortstopu for teaching my my son all things SS. He is making some great strides as a young infielder. #pickitLogin
Next Level,
I was wondering if Next Level always holds the camps in one location or if the coaching staff & Next Level moves around the United States?
I am a coach out of Fort Worth Texas and have found your instructional clips of catchers training to be VERY high quality training methods. Next Level is exactly what north Texas needs. Maybe you have already been in this area but I have 3 catchers I would like to send to your camps. I will have all 3 create their profile on the profile link. Thank you for your time.
Hi Dave, unfortunately at this time we are not quite ready to get out and travel. We are barely keeping up with the demand here in our area.
We are adding a ton of instructional content from the mental side, to drills, etc. You can find the subscription on sherady.com.
We have had quite a few people interested in Texas, so maybe that is a place to look into in the coming year.
So my son is 11 years old and will be turning 12 in Dec. He plays club ball with a traveling team and is also a part of a show case team which also travels the country competing in showcase tourneys. He has been receiving private lessons in catching for a couple years now. My question is, do you guys have a an age requirement and where is camp based out of? I would love to start my son in your program.
We are based in southern California. Thank you for getting in touch. Any further questions, please send an email to nextlevelca@ymail.com
what are you located guys.
Southern California. Inland Empire, Orange County, Murrieta area.
What seasons do you hold your camps? What months or date do you have these camps? Are they annual events? We live in Hawaii, but we can go to LA. We can only travel when our kids are on break from school. Our school system runs a little different than the mainland schedule. My parents have a home in Hollywood, so it won’t be so hard to travel. My son attends a private school and they are pretty strict when it comes to taking them out of school. What is the cost of your events? Aloha , love to hear from you.
Please send me an email at nextleveca@ymail.com….Thank you
Hello I would like to take my son Moses to attend one of your camps we live in Yuba City, Ca. Can you please send me a schedule for camps.
Thank you
Buenas soy de República Dominicanay me quiero comunicar con el señor justin Duarte con fines de entrenar un hijo mío como catcher
Next Level,
First let me say thank you for the videos you have posted online. It has helped me better my sons catching mechanics at Little League level. I do have a question though. How old does my kid have to be to attend one of your camps? Any information would be helpful. Thank you again.

When is your next catcher clinic?
Sept. 15th for our upper division and Sept. 23 for the Junior Division
Hi Justin,
I wanted to give a double fist-bump to you and your coaches for the tremendous effort you put forth in teaching, coaching, and reinforcing all things “catching.” As one of the toughest positions in baseball, you teach a multitude of physical & mental tools, framing/receiving/blocking/footwork, set-up/stances, and helping pitchers get their strikes. You guys cover it all with the fundamentals and professional tips that help catchers progress to that next level where little things make a difference or can make the game.
As a parent, I watch you guys wear your catching gear with pride and get down to demonstrate various skills. What is really impressive is your caring, positive approach to the catchers who are trying so hard to get better. You support these athletes like an extended family and give them shout outs on social media.
I highly recommend NLCA to catchers and parents out there looking for that priceless catcher training that is so hard to find. Every time we attend, my kid wont stop talking about the things he learned on the car ride home. Thanks Justin!
