ANNUAL COST

From $2,649/yr
$3,000 – $6,000/yr

WHY IT MATTERS

03 TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS
Lessons, camps, Skill-Specific Small Group Training Sessions (SSSGTS), scrimmages, team practices
— Heavy in games, light in training
WHY IT MATTERS

8 distinct training environments versus one. Players need reps in different enviornments to actually grow — not just at-bats on a tournament weekend.
