Program
Practice Pro is designed to be a year-round program for players who want to reach their potential.

The in-season program takes place in April - May and the summer program is June - July. Practice Pro. Pitchers will progress through our structured 8-week program on the same day and time each week. It’s imperative to get lessons during the season, as bad habits tend to creep in during competition.

Ages
3rd - 12th Grade

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. If you only make 7 of the 8 lessons during the Inseason, you may try to sub throughout the Summer as well, up until July, but no further. Finding an open spot is not guaranteed.

FAQ

Can I have a private lesson?

We do not do private lessons from October - July. We only do them August & September

What do I get for signing up?

8, 75 minute batting lessons with expert former-player coaches. Players will learn commitment, mental game skills, and accomplish quantitative and qualitative improvements.

Can I make up one of my hitting lessons in a pitching class?

No, our lessons are meant to be taken in order with the same players for 8 weeks, so we do not allow switching between programs.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

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. If you only make 7 of the 8 lessons during the Inseason, you may try to sub throughout the Summer as well, up until July, but no further. Finding an open spot is not guaranteed.

I have a whole team of players who want to take lessons together. Can we do that?

Yes! You can reserve a whole 10-week class just for your athletes at a discount. Contact advanceyourgame@practice-pro.com before registration opens to learn more.
