Frequently asked questions???

1. We just moved to the Charlotte area. Where can our children play baseball & softball? We maintain a website dedicated to helping you find youth associations where your children can participate in youth sports. Go to WWW.YOUTHBASEBALL.BIZ and click on the "League Finder" link. From there click on the map to get a list of youth organizations in your area.
2. I want to help with my son’s team but I don’t feel qualified. What can I do? We offer coaches clinics, coach training programs and 2 different youth coaching dvds. Our best seller "Coaches Clinic DVD" is designed to help the average dad learn to teach the fundamentals of hitting, pitching, fielding and throwing. Just under 2 hours of  COACHING INSTRUCTION!
3. I’ve coached for years but I want to do my best to provide the players what they need to move up to the next level. Can you help me? We offer very affordable individual or small group lessons to help your player in any area of his or her game. We'll cater the instruction to fit your needs! Our training DVDs are also available. We offer a variety of specialty titles designed to help.
4. What’s the difference between Little League, Dixie Youth and Cal Ripken Baseball? They are all good national youth organizations. Your local neighborhood youth association may choose one of these to affiliate with for insurance and post season opportunities such as ALL STARS.
5. My son struggles at the plate and I don’t know how to help him. Can you help? We have some of the best hitting instructors anywhere available to work with your player. Call and schedule a lesson with one of our hitting specialist today. We also have a "Hitting Fundamentals DVD" that we've sold to thousands of folks all over the world.
6. My son wants to pitch but I can’t help him. Would you suggest private lessons or group instruction? Starting with private lessons can be tough for some players. Some work better in a small group instructional atmosphere and maybe as they advance get them some private, one on one instruction. Our "Pitching Mechanics DVD" is a great starter for young pitchers. David Darwin, 8 years pro experience, AAA all star, Duke U 4 year starter and pride of West Mecklenburg High School is our DVD pitching instructor.
7. What’s the cost for one on one lessons for my 6 year old? The cost for a private lesson is listed on our facility prices page but often a young player should start with group instruction. Call us for more details about small group classes.
8. Should we work on hitting for the whole 55 minute lesson? Hitting for whole lesson is tough. Not many players less than high school age can physically hold up for 55 minutes much less concentrate on one task for that long. We often break lessons into 2 or 3 parts. for example; 30 minutes of hitting and 30 minutes of fielding. Pitching is the same. We often break a lesson into 30 minutes of pitching and 30 minutes of hitting. You choose!
9. My son wants to play high school baseball next year. What can I do to help him get ready? Speed & agility play a big role in high school athletics. We offer a great speed and agility program or we can incorporate speed and agility work into a lesson package. We adapt as needed.
10. How do I make sure my son gets “SEEN” by the college recruiters? You don't You can't buy a spot for you player. If he can play the colleges will see him. If he deserves a look they will find him. Playing high school baseball and participating in good competitive league play will get him what he needs!
11. Does my son have to play on a “Travel Team” to make his high school team? No, good fundamentals and good attitude don't go unnoticed by high school coaches. While there is always a difference of opinion when the cuts are made most often the high school coaches pick the right players, regardless of who they played with or where they played in the off season.
12. Is there a difference in teaching fundamentals with little guys and high school players? No, there is no difference in the fundamentals. We do expect the older players to do them better and faster but the fundamentals stay the same.
13. How long does it take to get my DVD order? We make every effort to ship all orders the same day as we receive them. Some days the due to the number of orders we are attempting to process we are forced to ship out the next day.
