15U Legends College Development Team

Summer/Fall Program

Coached by Legends Founder David Klein, the 2018 Legends 15U Summer Team is for serious players who are looking to take their skills to the next level. A collegiate coach for over 10 years, David’s focus for the summer will be to identify and improve any skill deficiencies, leverage innovative physical/mental training protocols, compete against the highest level of competition and initiate the process for playing in college.

Program Specifics

2-3 practices / week at Menlo-Atherton HS
3-4 out-of-area showcase tournaments (8-10 total tournaments)
2 strength & conditioning workouts/week at Menlo-Atherton HS with Legends strength trainer George Peters
College consultation, placement assistance and personal goal setting with David Klein
Player development & progress will be measured, tracked and distributed (exit velocity, bat speed, throwing velocity, squat, deadlift, bench press, home-to-first running time)

Roster Make-up

15-18 serious ballplayers, who have the goal of playing at the next level. This team will compete at the Majors Level and will compete in 16U local tournament and 2021 Grad Year Out-of-Area tournaments.

Team Commitment

Players invited to compete on this team are expected to play in the Summer and Fall, unless David and player decide a break is best due to arm/body health, and/or for developmental purposes. Players are encouraged to have a diversified athletic portfolio, and we will work with players wishing to participate in other Fall sports concurrently. A player who plays a fall sport like Football or Soccer can elect to play in the summer only

Dates & Schedule

Schedule is intentionally light between the end of HS JV season and finals so players can focus on finishing the school year strong, and to provide throwing arms a period of rejuvenation. 3-week mini-break at end of summer/beginning of school year to allow student to get off to a strong start, and to avoid mental/physical burnout.
