ROSA HEAVY HITTERS - 2024/2025
The ROSA Heavy Hitters program is again being offered for free. This program is for ROSA players of all ages and is a great opportunity for players to develop their hitting over the off-season. This program offers our players access to open hitting stations several times throughout the off season.

A representative from ROSA will be present at each session and will be more than happy to help you learn new station drills along the way.
