No matter the discipline, all lessons are tailored to the individual athlete based on their areas for growth.

Lessons range from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of lesson.

For a lesson, you’ll need your equipment such as catching gear, a glove, or a bat. Also be sure to bring a drink to keep you hydrated – you’ll be working hard!

For the initial, hour-long evaluation conducted by our instructors or a comprehensive check in assessment after utilizing our coaching staff, the cost is $250. With this, you’d receive full metrics and analysis of where your player is at in both skill and fitness.

-

We also offer a shorter 30 minute strength and conditioning performance evaluation (minus sprinting) for current 5 Tool athletes, costing $76. Here, the athlete would receive the findings of the evaluation, but not the in-depth analysis of strengths and weaknesses like the typical assessments.

To maintain a strong chemistry between the players and coach during the lesson, we kindly ask that you find your own partner.

You must book ahead.

If you are late for a lesson, you will begin your lesson with however much time is left in the session when you arrive. For instance, if you arrive 30 minutes late for a 1 hour lesson, you will only have 30 minutes for your lesson.

-

If you have to cancel your lesson, you must cancel at least 24 hours in advance. If you cancel within 24 hours of your lesson, there is a $50 reinstatement fee for the opportunity cost lost.
