TEAM TRAINING & OPEN FACILITY ACCESS
A staple of Futures — twice-a-week offseason team training (Nov–Feb) at EL1 facilities, led by a professional instruction staff comprised of former MLB, MiLB & Collegiate Players & Coaches (Pro & Collegiate experience ranges from location to location)
RETAIL VALUE $1,500Team training is a staple of Futures. Through the offseason (November–February), athletes train twice a week at EL1 facilities — a weeknight session with an EL1 instructor and a weekend session with an EL1 instructor and your team coach. All training is led by current and former college and professional players who know how to teach what they've lived. Every session is structured and purposeful: position-specific instruction in small groups with individual attention, built on a progressive curriculum that compounds week over week.

RRound-robin events vs. other Futures teams and outside clubs — matched by skill and age, development-first rules. 2 per season. OR Summer Instructional League Game Schedule (10-12 Games).

A YEAR THAT ACTUALLY RUNS ALL YEAR.
The training calendar launches the first week of October with SSSGTS & Open Facility access early, 1-1 lessons, MLBU BASE passive data capture throughout the fall/winter & spring, winter Team Training (November - February), SSSGTS & Open Facility use around their spring league schedules, and an early summer competition window through instructional scrimmages & round robin events and/or summer league and wrapping up the season with summer camp access. A connected year, not a single season — each phase builds on the last.
FUTURES VS. OTHERS.
ANNUAL COST
SAVE UP TO $3,401/YR
Most families pay more for less developmental value. The math compounds: tournament fees, hotels, gas, gear at retail. The club fee replaces all of it — paid in installments.
Others compress development into a handful of summer weekends. The club keeps players in the gym, on the field, and in front of instructors all 12 months — when the work actually compounds.
Eight distinct training environments versus one. Players need reps in different contexts to actually grow — not just at-bats on a tournament weekend.
You can't improve what you don't measure. MLBU Core-BASE assessments and passive data capture across the season show the arc and feed the development plan.
Marucci, Victus, Lizard Skins, Baum — direct-from-partner pricing on everything you'd buy anyway.
Our core belief has been and always will be R.E.I.: Relationship, Environment & Information. Every athlete gains a personal relationship with the men and women of influence through consistent engagements both on the turf and on the field.
