| Nov. 22, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Senior Softball Spring Training Hi guys, I've been asked to start a new thread on this so we don't have any confusion. We just finished a very successful Fall edition of our teaching program for senior players. Team 1 Sports is the only softball company that specializes and caters to the needs and requirements of the senior softball player and our camps show this. The next edition will be in Vero Beach , FL on February 25,26&27 th, 2016. I promise you this....if you come you will learn things that other camps don't cover and your game will change for the better. Between individual instruction, mini seminars, games, and organized bp sessions you will have fun and progress as a senior athlete. With our added "mini boot camp atmosphere" you will go home laughing, in better shape, and be a better player. Registration is $250 and it's limited as we make sure to keep out instructors able to meet the individual needs of each athlete. Call me at 561-718-7504 to register or with questions. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 22, 2015 OlyPenSenior 21 posts | Any chance of doing one of these programs in the West some day? |
| Nov. 22, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Oly, I appreciate your post. It may be possible but sometimes cost is prohibitive. I guess if you could advertise it in your area in conjunction with myself doing the same it could possibly work. I would have to fly myself and the staff and pay for hotels and their food over four days which is a bit costly. We usually only charge $250 per player and that includes the banquet on Saturday night plus giveaways. I would have to break it down but I'm thinking we would have to have at least 50 or so players to break close to even which I am willing to do. I'm happy to speak with you and work together on this in the future if you are interested in working together on it. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 23, 2015 OZ40 549 posts | Alan, what fields will you be using? I'm wondering what are the closest lodgings... |
| Nov. 23, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | OZ, We will be at: South County Regional Park 800 20th Ave SW Vero Beach, FL 32962 I am working on host hotel rooms right now. February is the peak of the tourist season in Vero so rooms are more expensive and harder to come by. I work on them and work on them and try to get you guys the best rates! There are several hotels right on I95 and RT60 and they sit in the same parking lot as the famous Vero Beach Outlet Mall which is a big shopping destination. (A VERY good way to entice your wife or girlfriend into letting you come! LOL) I should have all that done by next week along with confirming our banquet site....Thank You, Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Nov. 24, 2015 OZ40 549 posts | Thanks for the info, keep us posted as the time draws nearer. What's your best selling bat right now? |
| Nov. 24, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | All the details are set for the camp February 25,26, and 27th. If you would like to register, give me a call. The top selling bat right now is Mikens new Ultra II Black. Thanks, AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 24, 2015 DOERBAUM Men's 55 86 posts | AS A DEVOTED USER OF DUDLEY BATS IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS.....LOL! THE MIKEN ULTRA 2 BLACK I JUST GOT FROM ALAN IS THE BEST BAT I HAVE EVER HIT. DONT THINK ITS REALLY ANY HOTTER THAN THE DUDLYS, BUT RIGHT OUT OF THE WRAPPER I WAS HITTING BALLS AS FAR AS EITHER THE 12" OR 13" DUDLYS I HAVE WITH 500 SWINGS ON THEM. THE SWEET SPOT SEEMED TO BE A BIT LARGER AND MORE FORGIVING THAN THE DUDLYS. THE SWING WEIGHT WAS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM. HIT BALLS TODAY AT DIAMOND PLEX HERE IN WINTER HAVEN (FIELD C TO THOSE OF YOU FAMILIAR) WIND BLOWING STRAIGHT IN AT 15+ MPH. HIT 40+ OUT OF 100 OUT. 25 WITH THE MIKEN STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WRAPPER. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE NOW IS THE DURABILITY. IF IT COMES EVEN CLOSE TO THE DUDLYS ( I GET ABOUT 800+- SWINGS OUT OF THE DUDLEYS), MIKEN HAS A REAL WINNER ON THIER HANDS. |
| Nov. 25, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Doer, Glad you like the bat. It certainly is one of the best I've ever tested. What's even better is that all 3 models are consistent and perform at top levels. Competition in the marketplace has produced a great product for us senior guys to take advantage of. Miken has finally caught up to the huge demand so I actually have them in stock now. Before this....I was waiting at the mailbox every day! Lol AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 27, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | The official hour by hour February Spring Training schedule is now up at the Team 1 Sports site. It will give you a brief description and idea of the program. It's a great opportunity to come enjoy some warm February weather and get ready for SSUSA' s Spring tournament schedule. You can contact me with any questions or to register. Btw....we have 2 ladies registered already as all the ladies over 35 in 2016 are welcome! Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Nov. 27, 2015 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | I have been reading all year about how when the Dudley opens up it is amazing. Mine finally did in Phoenix, and it became extremely hot overnight. I must have 500 cuts or more on it. And the durability is also amazing. |
| Nov. 28, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Webbie, Not sure if your post was meant for this thread but? We had an actual Rep that works DIRECTLY for Dudley at our fall camp and he will be at our spring camp too. He will have the latest information and updates from Dudley along with demo bats for guys and girls to swing. Anything new coming down the pike from Dudley will be presented along with updates from the current line. The new back packs and bags that he showed us were certainly very nice! Hope to see you at our camp... Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports |
| Nov. 29, 2015 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | If you go to their site and look at the schedule--if I read it right there is not much going on the night of the 25th the real stuff starts on the 26th and 27th and they have a half day on Sunday the 28th it looks like the the days should 25-26-27-28 |
| Nov. 29, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Wes, You are right as I really didn't list it correctly on the thread here but it is correct on the site. Thursday evening is just an informal meet and greet and the program goes all day Friday, Saturday and a half day Sunday. Hope you can make it. AT19 Team 1 Sports |
| Dec. 1, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | A hotel room update: Rooms are hard to come by in February. I am still working on a small room block but many hotels don't want to block off rooms ahead as they can get $200 per night for a $100 room that time of the year. I did get information today that will get you a room for $109 which is $80 less per night than usual. Make your reservations ASAP before rates go up: Comfort Suites 9050 Americana Way Vero Beach, FL 32966 772-257-3400 AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Dec. 2, 2015 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Well I guess that's next on your to do list Alan. You got'ta buy us a hotel. Guys don't miss Thursday's meet and greet, it's great listening to those old men tell lies. |
| Dec. 2, 2015 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | What airport do you fly to |
| Dec. 3, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Hemi, My dad is a retired colonel ....he calls them "war stories" ! It's a a fun time for sure. I've been told by one of our campers the way to go right now is priceline on a few of the hotels right on Rt60/I95 in Vero Beach by the Outlet Mall. I will continue to work on them. Wes, you can fly into Orlando or West Palm Beach and even Sanford is not far as well... AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Dec. 3, 2015 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | We usually stay at the Hampton Inn at I95/Rt.60 exit. Reasonable rates and clean. If you are even thinking about attending you need to book it now, you can always cancel. |
| Dec. 7, 2015 StevenL.Imlay Men's 60 174 posts | Fantastic camp if you didn't make it this year start planning on next year. Lot's of swings and activities well run and get a senior bat at the banquet. Had the opportunity to meet some excellent people that will be lifelong friendships. SLi |
| Dec. 7, 2015 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Steve, this thread isn't about Softball Magazine's camp, it's Allan Tanner's. |
| Dec. 7, 2015 StevenL.Imlay Men's 60 174 posts | Allan Sorry just looked at the Senior Softball camp. I'm sure your's will be great as well. SLi |
| Dec. 7, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | No problem guys! I've mixed up threads and responses a time or two myself. Senior moments do happen! Lol glad you guys had fun. Hope to see you both at the field this upcoming season. AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Dec. 7, 2015 fcuratolo44 4 posts | Hey Steve, Thanks for the great instruction this weekend in Cocoa. Frank |
| Dec. 7, 2015 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | We will start another thread |
| Dec. 15, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Guys, We now have three hotels that are basically in the same parking lot next to the Vero Beach Outlet Mall. (Designed to lure spouses and girlfriends, lol!) These are at the main intersection of Rt. 60 and I95 and about 15 minutes from the South County Regional Park in Vero Beach where the training camp will be held. Hampton Inn Country Suites Holiday Inn Express Each of these are at various price levels with the best value being Country Suites. We now have campers coming from as far away as Canada and California and I'm excited to have each of you there. If you want a one on one experience where you can benefit during every phase of the camp, call and register now. You will find it to be the most comprehensive camp designed especially for the needs of the senior player. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Dec. 16, 2015 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Alan feeds you well also! |
| Dec. 22, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Hemi! Food is a critical resource and I happen to like good food! Lol seriously, nutrition and hydration are two things often very much overlooked by athletes who think they are doing everything correct in an effort to being as good as a ball player as they can be. Understanding and dealing with these requirements is just another key element in helping ourselves to have an opportunity to succeed on the ball field as senior players. These topics and more are covered during our mini seminars and on banquet night at our Spring Training camp.. Don't miss out on the most comprehensive camp in the US. REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW FOR OUR February 26-28 th camp in Vero Beach, FL. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Dec. 26, 2015 SAH 7 posts | Could you please post a link to the information and/or registration page ?? Thank you. Cheers, Scot |
| Dec. 26, 2015 Tri18 352 posts | Scot, There is information on the Team 1 Sports website. Out of respect for the policy of SSUSA and this message board, I don't post the direct link or list the site address. I appreciate the fact that they let me post general info here in regards to the camp. Feel free to call me or email me anytime and I'll be happy to help you. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports Tricoach18@att.net |
| Dec. 27, 2015 SAH 7 posts | Thank you. I got it and understand fully. SSUSA is a great site and a great source for information. Again, thank you. |
| Jan. 12, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | Hi everyone, Just to clarify a couple of things as a result of recent inquiries: The camp is open to any mens players who turn 50 anytime during 2016. The camp is open to any WOMEN players that turns 35 anytime in 2016. We do have a few ladies signed up already so girls , get with me and let's take your game to the next level! As of today we have players coming from as far away as Canada, Texas, Maine, and Upstate New York. I have a couple of California guys on the brink....time to represent your state people and come have some fun in Vero Beach the last week of February. Come to the senior camp dedicated to the senior athlete and elevate your game. Call me with any questions or to register at 561-718-7504. If you are coming to the TOC at the end of February may sure to look me up! You don't want to miss out on another great SSUSA event and Floridas nice fields and weather in February. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Jan. 15, 2016 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | High in upper SC is going to be 45 degrees next week. Got my extra pair of underware packed and ready now. |
| Jan. 20, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | Hemi, We got a cold front down here today too, it's only going to be 70 today. Time for jacket and sleeves. Off to test some prototype bats at the field right now. See you all in February at the camp! AT18 Team 1 Sports |
| Jan. 21, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | I am happy to announce that I reached an agreement today to again have the famous Saturday night banquet at Mulligans on the Beach in Vero. Mulligans has hosted us for our first two events but were hesitant to commit to us taking up the entire back room as we did in the fall since it's the very lucrative tourist season right now. So....we will be at Mulligans again in February at one of the best restaurants in Vero Beach located right on the beach. Registration Is open now so call me to reserve your spot. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Jan. 22, 2016 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Very Good Alan! Mulligans is a very nice venue for your banquet dinner. Great views right by the ocean and the food is great. Nice little shopping area for the girls also. Third time attending, but I always learn something new to help my game for your team of experts. |
| Jan. 27, 2016 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Couple of guys inquired yesterday at hitting practice. Alan will you have all your regular staff at this years camp? |
| Jan. 27, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | Hemi, At this point yes, all are on schedule to attend and possibly one additional staff member as well. Davey Reed may be somewhat limited as his grandson is wrestling in the State tournament that weekend so it depends on his match times as to his availability. We have a great mix of staff and agenda for this spring session so you won't want to miss out. You can call me for details or to register. Alan Tanner Team 1 Sports 561-718-7504 |
| Feb. 6, 2016 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Can't fault Davey for doing that. Looks like he has his priorities in order. Sure will miss fellowshipping with him. That is one amazing man. |
| Feb. 7, 2016 CurtfromKY 65 posts | Alan was looking for the info on this camp on the website but could not find it. I will try and call you tomorrow. If you see this first will you let me know what I need to do on the site please? Thanks |
| Feb. 10, 2016 Tri18 352 posts | Curt, Go to Team 1 Sports website and click on forum on upper right corner. Then click on your first forum and you should see the thread for spring training camp. If you can't find it or have questions, please call me at 561-718-7504. It is the last weekend of this month and I still have openings if players would like to come. AT18 Team 1 Sports |
