Reminders for booking cage space...
​
If you'd like a baseball pitching machine: please book cage 1 (the Iron Mike) or cage 4 (the 2-wheel Jugs machine). If neither of those cages are available, we do have a 3rd baseball pitching machine that can be moved into different cages, but it being available is not guaranteed.
​
If you'd like a softball pitching machine: Please ask the staff at the desk for the machine, and they will set it up for you. It is mobile, and can be placed in any cage.
​
If you'd like a raised mound for baseball pitching: please book cage 2, as it is currently the only cage with a raised mound.

AtBats Fall Clinic Series
running end of September through early November
full schedule and offerings coming soon!
Rookies (ages 5-7)
Our Rookies program is designed to get kids up, moving, throwing, and swinging! Our coaches will introduce the games of softball and baseball to players, and work on establishing basic fundamentals, as well as making sure the kids have plenty of fun doing it.
All-Skills (ages 7-11)
All-Skills covers exactly what it sounds like: all of the skills. This introductory program continues to introduce and build upon the basic fundamentals of baseball and softball, including throwing and receiving, hitting, fielding, and pitching and catching, should the players express interest.
Intro to Pitching (ages 7-11)
Intro to Pitching focuses specifically on the position and mechanics of pitching in both baseball and softball. Coaches work to establish baseline mechanics, and help young players build strength and confidence on the mound. No pitching experience required. Players attending Softball Intro to Pitching need to bring their own catcher, whether that is a teammate, sibling, or parent.
​For ages 11 - 14 years old: the Next Level Series
Hitting
Next Level Hitting works to advance young hitters’ mechanics as they begin to play ball at a higher level and face better pitching. Coaches break down mechanics to help each player develop a more effective swing, as well as begin to introduce the skill sets to hit different pitches. Experience not required, but recommended.
Fielding
In Next Level Fielding, players will develop speed, agility, footwork, and glovework to step up their game in the field. Coaches will cover both infield and outfield mechanics, while also reviewing the basics of throw and receiving to help strengthen players as they advance to higher levels of play. Experience not required, but recommended (players should feel comfortable receiving the ball to avoid any injuries).
Pitching
As one of the more difficult positions to master mechanically, Next Level Pitching will take young pitchers up a notch in speed, accuracy, and strength, as well as help them to develop a more varied arsenal of pitches. Pitching experience is not required, but is recommended. Players attending Softball Next Level Pitching need to bring their own catcher, whether that is a teammate, sibling, or parent.
​For ages 14 - 18 years old: the Advanced Series
Hitting
Advanced Hitting helps prepare hitters for either high school- or tournament- level ball by hammering home basic mechanics, and helping hitters to tweak their swings to be as efficient and successful hitters as possible. Coaches will work more one-on-one with hitters who want to work on hitting specific pitches, as well as provide opportunities for hitters to hit against live pitching. Experience is expected at this level of clinic, but not necessarily required if your player is new to the sport.
Fielding
Advanced Fielding covers more than just fielding; it covers athleticism, agility, speed, and footwork as well. Part of being a good fielder is the ability to be a good athlete, and that is what Advanced Fielding looks to work the most on. While coaches will still work on basic fielding mechanics, it is expected at this level that players are comfortable throwing, receiving, and fielding ground and fly balls. Coaches will work on position specific skillsets for both outfielders and infielders, while helping players to hone in their baseline mechanics to take them to the next level.
Elite Clinics (when offered)
Elite Clinics are offered occasionally across our seasons, depending on demand. Elite Clinics are geared towards high-level tournament and high school players looking to hone their skills and advance as athletes in general, as well as softball players. Coaches will focus on strength, speed, and agility work that may not be covered in our other clinic series, with a goal of creating a fast-paced learning environment for players. Experience is required for any offered Elite Clinics, and players should be ready to practice, learn, and work at a fast, high-level pace, with less deep explanation and more quick, strong execution of skills.
