Player Development 
We offer private baseball & softball hitting, baseball pitching, baseball & softball catching & fielding lessons and also very popular programs that work on Player Development.  We believe developing is where it's at.  Improving mechanical deficiencies is a great start.  Development means a 360 degree approach though.  It takes time.  It takes patience and hard work. It requires a long view approach, not chasing gimmicks and not expecting the process to be linear.  Every athlete is different, and every flower in the field blooms when it's ready, but one thing for sure is hard work is undefeated.  
Prepare for that bloom and take off!

To supplement our lessons and facilitate development, Arm Care + Athletic Lifting is the name of the program and will enter its 5th year and counting this fall of 2026.  It runs month to month Sept - Feb and meets in 2x per week in groups of 6-12 athletes.  Sign up a month at a time and use this time to do something maybe your athlete has never done.  
Prepare the body for baseball/softball.

Arm Care Plus (for short) was designed to address what we've seen over the past decade that is holding players back from being their best, especially once they hit 11, 12, 13+ years old. Strength deficits, flexibility, mobility and mechanical limitations all head the list of what's keeping players from excelling.  You might be shocked to see just how weak players are in their upper body & lower body and just how tight they are in their shoulders & hips.  When we see this, is it really a shock they struggle to throw hard or hit the ball hard?  
It's painfully obvious unfortunately, but we open the eyes to see what needs to be done.

The name says Arm Care and it's definitely designed with the pitchers in mind to prepare and bullet-proof their shoulders and help them learn to use the Kinetic Chain & use their lower half. But, trust us when we say this...it benefits hitters just as much!  Year after year we see hitters begin to use their entire lower half differently because of the program and hit with authority like never before.  The big field itself is a challenge to grow into, so getting stronger and more physical 360 all the way around is smart.  
Getting ahead of it can be a springboard to a bright future.  

 
Arm/Shoulders Pain/Injury?
We also aim to address and pinpoint what may be contributing to your arm/shoulder pain/injury during lessons and development programs.   The arm/shoulder injury epidemic is out of control and continues to haunt pitchers and position players year after year. Pitchers are chasing velo too young and with dangerous throwing mechanics. The results, sadly, are all too predictable.  We want to help and address this.  

Pitching Lessons:
Coach Shawn Knott, having pitched professionally for the Baltimore Orioles MiLB, & also at the Division 1 (Power 5 conference) level, has the critical experience and knowledge to take you to the next level.  With over 20 years of combined coaching & teaching experience, Coach Shawn has all MLB technology you could dream of.  Trackman is used to provide pitching metrics and multiple camera angles of the pitching delivery.  This type of technology is only found at the highest levels of the sport.
 
Hitting Lessons:
Blending old school with a new school perspective, we help you square the ball up and have a high percentage swing that will help keep you in the lineup.  Baseball has changed over the years, but the game remains the same in that you have hit the ball hard and hit it consistently.  We will help your hitter gain control of their destiny, gain more confidence and have more success. We help you understand the "why" behind everything in your swing. We teach you how to hit and be your very best.  HitTrax is used for key metrics and also Viewpoint is used to capture video from multiple angles to provide instant feedback to coach and player.
