Praise From Our Players

Have been taking my son here for private lessons for quite a while. Excellent facility, awesome staff and superior training from the coaches. I wanted my son to get the best pitching instruction he can possibly get, and Matt Kinney is it. Thank you Sluggers for doing this for these kids that are the future of this sport.

Daryl Springer

My son took hitting/pitching lessons with Coach Harvey this Spring and I can't tell you how impressed I was with how he set the lessons up and how quickly my son improved due to his guidance. The owner is very responsive and I appreciated the automated reminders we received leading up to his lesson dates.

Keith Kowalski

Sluggers is a top-notch teaching and learning facility. My son loves it there and has grown so much as a player. He has benefited from the clinics, camps, private lessons, and his travel team. Great instruction, fair prices, and an excellent year-round facility. If your child loves baseball or softball, do yourself a favor and visit Sluggers!

Shianne Priest

My daughter loves Sluggers. Coach Wheeler does a tremendous job in their clinics. I highly recommend doing Sluggers Softball clinics if your a beginner as it’s a great value.
