How lessons work

Three levels, one coach at a time.

Your first lesson starts with ten minutes of the coach watching you hit or throw, then you agree on a level together. Move up or down whenever it fits.

  • Level one

    First swings

    Ages 7 to 10, or new to the game at any age. Grip, stance and watching the ball, off a tee and soft toss before the machine.

  • Level two

    Building

    Players who make contact and want it to be steady. Timing against the machine for hitters; grips and a repeatable motion for pitchers.

  • Level three

    League ready

    High school and adult league players. We work on what you or your own coach want to work on, and tell you plainly what we see.

Questions

Will lessons make me throw harder?

We don’t promise speed, results or a spot on a team. We promise focused practice, a coach who pays attention and plain words about what we see.

Do I need my own bat?

No. Loaner bats in five lengths and helmets in four sizes are on the rack by the door, free with any cage time or lesson.

How young can a player start?

Seven is the youngest for lessons and cage time. A parent stays in the building for players under 13.
