Questions parents ask.
What if we miss a Saturday?
Sessions can’t be carried over, but tell us ahead and Lou will catch the player up.
Does my player need their own gear?
Bring a glove. We supply bats, helmets and the rest. Turf shoes or sneakers, no metal cleats.
Baseball and softball together?
Yes. The infield work is the same and the groups train side by side.
Can we watch?
Yes, there’s seating along the netting. We ask that the coaching stays with Lou.
What if it is full when we try?
Call us and we’ll tell you if a place opens.
