Off-Season Training Sign-up
Sign-Up Advice
**All Coaches must get approved by John before signing up.**
You may register up to 2 athletes with each Coach.
Sometimes PayPal doesn't play well with phones (use a desktop if you have any issues), and we offer installments and single-pay options. Keep scrolling if you don't see the option you'd prefer.
Don't forget that 8th graders are usually super-appropriate and welcome in our HS groups! Athletes younger than 10 need permission from John to join the All-Ages groups.
We can also take cash or check. Just email [email protected] to set that up.

FAQ
Will there be additional times offered?
If there's more demand, we are willing to offer a night or two in addition to what we're offering. If things are full or these times don't work, email [email protected].
We are also open to running a session for your team, on their own. Check out our option to have us work with your team.
What ages is this for?
We have options for kids as young as 6. Please reach out to John if you think your athlete can sustain their effort and attention to fit in with an older age. For kids younger than 10, that's what we look for, not skills. They have to be able to keep themselves safe, and not disrupt the learning of others.
Will kids be pitching?
All of the young baseball players will get some pitching training, but that won't be the focus unless they're in the Baseball Pitchers session. Softball players will not be pitching. If you have a baseball player that really wants to dig into mechanics, different pitches and the development of command and velocity, check out our Baseball Pitchers sessions.
Can parents help out at training?
Absolutely. Part of what we do is to increase the skills of parent-coaches. Ideally, we're looking for 2-3 parent helpers that can make it each session. They'd be asked to do things like throw front toss to kids, help with tee drills or help organize kids during strength training. In return, those folks will get coach-style training from our instructors, helping the parents understand the movements and skills we're teaching at a whole new level. Email John if you're interested in this, and we'll get you an additional discount!
Will we be playing any tournaments?
No. We are teachers. Our focus is entirely on the kids and what they learn.
Should I sign-up even if we're going to miss a few sessions?
Even if you miss half the sessions, our time with the athletes vs. price is still better than our closest competition. But . . .to sweeten the deal.
We don't anticipate all sessions filling up. We will have room if a few folks a week need some flexibility. So, in the event that you know your ballplayer will miss a week, reach out. Ask if there's room for them to come to the next practice that they're not normally signed up for (So, if you sign up for Friday, you'd ask if they can come on Wednesday, and vice versa.) We will always want to say yes, but we have had to say 'no' once or twice in the past. We cannot accommodate someone looking to use this as a feature and not an offer of goodwill, but we will do whatever we can to get the kids in the gym.
Come on, there've got to be some hidden costs here -- equipment, gear, something. . .
Not that we can think of. We'd love to spring for tshirts for kids so they have something stunning to wear for training. But depending on how many kids we'll have, we could be cutting it close on staying in the black -- this price is shockingly low if you price out other venues. (1/3 of the cost of some of the local competition, and we think there's no one who instructs better than us.)
