★★★★★Brian Meachum

What an amazing place in the middle of downtown Kenosha. Great people, great experience. First experience was great for my son. Looking forward to see his progress with the coaches.

★★★★★Jon Principe

Awesome coaching! Great facility. My son had immediate improvement and now goes weekly for private coaching with Matt. We love watching his progression.

★★★★★Wisconsin scout report

Some of the top youth players from the state of wisconsin call this place home. Top notch facility that is producing some top tier players. We have watched and followed some of the players who are starting to get ranked and noticed within our region. Kenosha has a history of producing top ball players in the last few years

Everyone was very friendly. Lots of fresh breads, baked goods and even flavored olive oil. Was a bit disappointed in the fresh produce though. They picked out the veggies I asked for. When I got home I found the tomatoes were all spoiled. Guess it was a lesson to be learned, check them prior to leaving.

First, the good. The instruction here is excellent. My 12 year old son worked with coach Kevin for many months and greatly improved his swing. Kevin obviously knows baseball. He is an enthusiastic teacher who is energetic and passionate about what he does. He is constantly providing positive feedback and constructive criticism to make his "students" become better and more consistent hitters. In short, he genuinely cares. My son had been to a facility the previous year, in which "lessons" consisted of the coach mindlessly throwing batting practice from a chair for a half hour and providing no feedback at all. Kevin is a breath of fresh air. The facility is clean and well lit. The pitching machine they have is state of the art. Temperature wise, it can be a bit on the cool side, but it is nothing that a sweatshirt can address. Now, the bad. First off, this reviewer understands and is aware that facilities such as this need the business of large groups/organizations (i.e. high school or club softball and baseball teams) to make money. Typically, large groups/organizations take up the entire facility for a block of time on a particular day/night each week. Again this reviewer understands and is aware of this. However, there were two instances in the span of two months in which we were bumped from our well in-advance scheduled night and time slot to accommodate a large group/organization who swooped in late and reserved the entire facility. The first time was Wednesday nights. We then moved to Tuesday nights as a result of being bumped the first time. Less than five weeks later, another organization comes and bumps everyone out of the Tuesday night time slot we had scheduled well in advance. To make matters worse, we were not provided any alternatives after being bumped a second time. Instead we were directed to contact the front desk to chase down any remaining available time slots. This gives off a message that the individual players seeking instruction matter far less than the large groups/organizations. At the very least when a well paying and loyal customer gets bumped, not only once but twice, the company should reach out to the customer in good faith and offer alternatives with an apology. Further, to prevent instances such as these from occurring in the future, perhaps large groups/organization be given have a deadline (date) to reserve the entire facility. That way, all customers know what the day and time slot options are. Once that date passes, the sessions should be set on a first come, first serve basis. This is just basic customer service, and regards ALL customers, not just large groups/organizations as folks whose time is important and should be treated with respect.
