Joy of the Game - Your Neighborhood Indoor Home Field

Practice - a simple word, yet so important.

Practice is the ultimate tool for any athlete looking to take their game to the next level. If you are training – at any level – beginner, intermediate or advanced – in our clinics, lessons, from your coach, etc., you need both the time and the perfect environment to practice what you are being taught. That’s what our Membership Program is all about.

Quality cage time at a cost-effective price.

About our Memberships: Each entitles the member to reserve 20 minutes per day of time in the batting cages and/or the pitchers mound on a first come, first served basis (family memberships can reserve a time slot for each family member). Of course, if time is available before or after your reserved time slot, you are welcome to use any open cage. In addition, members receive preferred pricing on lessons, clinics, parties and much, much more.

The ProBatter Professional baseball pitching system is as close as possible to real-life pitching -- it's simulated reality and amazing precision can sharpen hitting skills like no pitching machine has ever done. The hitter observes a life-size image of an actual pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch which is thrown through the video screen by a computer controlled pitching module.

This module is capable of interchangeably creating any pitch (fastball, sinker, cutter, splitter, curve, slider, and change-up) that a pitcher can throw, at speeds up to 100 MPH, with pinpoint accuracy. The ProBatter also can be used successfully to train catchers to properly receive and frame pitches, block pitches in the dirt, and work on their throwing footwork.

The ProBatter Professional baseball pitching system is currently used by four MLB teams and scores of training centers in both the United States and Canada.
