Players immediately had fun, and their sliding skills improved dramatically. To further support athletes, Coach Robby has hosted multiple sliding clinics, building confidence and teaching techniques like the pop-up slide. Proudly manufactured in the USA, SLIDEMVP™ is player-tested and coach-approved. It enhances sliding technique, boosts speed, and improves agility on the basepaths.
