Local facility owner was telling me about back when his kid played at a local high school. They would open their place on Sunday nights and players would come in for live pitching & hitting. First weeks of the season, they would hit the ground running having already played several games worth of hitting. Can't do that in a HS gym.
I agree. I tried to partner with a local strength and conditioning place and got out kids a great discount on 12-week offseason baseball specific program. Very affordable. I hammered their parents about how important it was. And it would allow us to do all baseball skills in the athletic period.
6 kids signed up.....
