Private Instruction

TRAINING BUILT AROUND ‘YOU’

Professional & qualified instruction  since 2007. Generally, private lessons must be paid for at time of lesson or before lesson occurs.
NEW CANCELLATION NOTICE: we now require 3 days notice to cancel Private lessons. IF you cancel less than 3 days, and we can NOT fill the slot, payment is required and no credit will be issued if prepaid. Chances are, we can fill the slot with enough notice due to our long wait-list. Effect Jan 1, 2024

WHY THE “COOKIE-CUTTER APPROACH TO HITTING DOES NOT WORK

Cookie Cutter definition: If you describe something as having a cookie-cutter approach or style, you mean that the same approach or style is always used and not enough attention is paid to individual differences. At the Sandlot, we customize a plan around each individual player.

The Professional Instructors at The Sandlot do NOT believe in teaching the cookie cutter approach. While there are similar technical mechanics that are necessary for the proper swing, we work closely with each batter to differentiate the aspects of hitting and apply changes to help that particular aspect of the swing. Every player requires their own set of instructions and hitting drills to maximize his/her understanding and potential.

Cancellation Policy

NEW: we now require 3 days minimum notice to cancel Private lessons. IF you cancel less than 3 days, and we can NOT fill the slot, payment is required and no credit will be issued if prepaid. Chances are, we can fill the slot with enough notice due to our long wait-list. If you do not show up for your scheduled lesson, you will be responsible for the payment.

Lessons, Teams, and all other Scheduled Reservations must be prepaid. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and we will try our best to work with you. Team & Group Rates

TEAM RESERVATIONS FOR PRACTICE SPACE
New Budget-friendly pricing : $100 flat fee for 1.5 hrs, $75 for 1 hr
$50 additional IF you would like an instructor

Due to the high demand for WINTER team practice space, if your team schedules out and you cancel the sessions, you are responsible for the remaining sessions UNLESS I can fill your time slot.

Winter Sessions require a $200 non-refundable deposit at time of the initial reservation. Then, we will allow teams to pay weekly. HOWEVER:  IF you cancel a session and we cannot fill your slot, you are still responsible for payment for that session (unless I can fill the slot).

Includes: 2 pitching mounds, 2 batting cages with automatic, commercial pitching machines, 2 soft-toss machines, 3 tee stations and 50′ x 60′ mini-field, which can be divided into 3 cages.

TEAMS MUST BRING THEIR OWN BALLS FOR PITCHING OR LIVE HITTING. WE DO HAVE BALLS AT MANY OF THE STATIONS.  NOTE: we have balls for sale in our retail store.
