Program
Practice Pro is designed to be a year-round program for players who want to reach their potential. In September you have the chance to register for the offseason (October - December)  and preseason (January - March) together at a discount. There is also another enrollment period at the end of the year in December for the preseason program.

The offseason session is a ten-lesson program. It is often one of the most fun times to train, as advanced players have a chance to make big strides with fundamentals and learn new techniques.  Beginner-level players who
start well before their 2025 season will be at a huge advantage having the chance to develop a solid foundation, then will step up to the plate with confidence come April.

Slapping, Short Game and Speed Class

This class is designed for players looking to elevate their offensive game with speed, precision, and strategy. We’ll focus on slapping techniques (both soft and power slaps), bunting for base hits, drag bunting, and developing elite footwork out of the box. Athletes will also work on base running IQ, first-step explosiveness, and speed drills to become a true threat on the bases. Ideal for lefties or speedy players looking to expand their game and stand out.

Ages
3rd - 12th Grade

Locations:
Niles - 5731 N. Howard, Niles, IL

Participants:
From true beginners (no experience) through college-bound players, athletes are grouped based on age, ability level, and experience with Practice Pro.

Parent Involvement:
The most successful batters have supportive parents. Parents may stay and watch lessons so that they can learn how to help their daughters when not in lessons,  but it’s not required.

Instructors:
Marisa Belpedio will be the lead instructor. Various instructors will be the assistants for other classes. Occasionally, instructors will sub for one another. All lead instructors for each day are listed in your scheduling app (Wodify).

Rescheduling:
Sessions are designed to attend every class in order. If you miss a class you must reschedule your class within your current session. You may not roll over any classes to any other class, lesson or camp.  This includes missing the last class. Open spots in other classes are not guaranteed. 

Refunds & Credits:
You may receive a refund or credit if you have a doctor’s note. You may not rollover any missed classes into another session.
