Half an hour, one player, one coach. Baseball and softball, year round, booked online around your schedule.
Every lesson is led by one of our experienced coaches, and every one is thirty minutes built around a single player — what they are working on, at the pace they need.
Swing path, direction and contact quality, worked on one swing at a time with a coach watching every rep.
The same coaching built around the softball swing. Open to players of any age or level.
Footwork, hands and throwing angles. The work everything else in our program is built on.
Mechanics, arm care and a repeatable delivery, with throwing progressions scaled to age.
Receiving, blocking, footwork and throwing from the position that touches every pitch of the game.
Single lessons are available and plenty of families use them that way. But almost nothing gets fixed in one thirty-minute session — a swing change needs a few weeks of reps before it holds up under a live pitch.
So packages are priced below the single-lesson rate. Facility members get an additional 10% off on top of that.
Our booking platform shows real availability by coach and by time slot. Pick what works, book it, done. No phone tag, no waiting to hear back about whether Tuesday at 5:30 is open.
Reschedule from the same place if something comes up.
Generally half an hour. That is enough time for real work at a pace a young player can hold, and short enough to fit a school night.
Yes. Softball hitting lessons run out of the same building with the same coaches and the same technology.
No. Lessons are open to everyone, and most of the players taking lessons here play somewhere else. A facility membership gets you 10% off lessons if you use us regularly.
If you are working on something specific, yes — packages are priced below the single-lesson rate, and change takes more than one session. If you just want to try it, book one.
You choose. The booking platform shows availability by coach, so you can stay with the same one or try a few.
A glove, a bat if they have one, and gym shoes or turfs. We have everything else.
Tell us your player’s age, what they play and what you are trying to fix, and we will tell you which lesson and which coach to start with.
