National School Of Baseball & Softball, L.L.P.

We follow our motto: Educate, Demonstrate, Motivate, Create.

With that said, we explain what we teach, how we teach and why we teach it. We explain what biomechanics is and how science plays a huge role in what we do. We take pictures and videos of how students do what they do now as a basis. From there we start to tweak things with detailed explanations as to why we are changing things and what the end result will be. We give drills that are considered homework. The student must take some responsibility in their development, as these drills are crucial to creating the muscle memory needed to create the perfect mechanics we are looking for. We make sure they see some kind of improvement before they leave even the first leson. 

Cerfified in Biomechanics (laws of physics applied to the human body) or in laymans terms, how to use the entire body to perform, especially in pitching, hitting and throwing.

All pricing is on our web site. We offer packages for differnt types of lessons: Baseball Pitching, Softball Pitching, Hitting, Fielding & Throwing. 

I coached for a very long time and the feedback I received was incredible and inspiring to me. Baseball is my passion and my gift is the ability to teach in a fun and effective way. I have knack for connecting with my students. I got my start rather innocently. A fellow coach said to me. "Do you have any idea how good you are. You should be making money doing what you do" And that was that. We opened in the fall of 2014 and have been on a tremendous growth pattern ever since. 

I work with all types of students of all ages from 5 through 21, all with great success. Most of my students are in pitching and hitting. The younger students, who are beginning focus on fielding, catching, throwing and hitting. My older students are more advanced of course. Example for baseball pitching we offer a Velocity Program. 

One day I was giving lessons, doing a lot of demonstrations and explanations. You could hear a pin drop while I was teaching. After the lesson was over, one of the student's grandmother came up to me and said. "The way you explain it and put it all together, it's like a ballet. I have never seen an instructor teach like that before. You take all the little pieces, put them together and make a whole. To me it is truly like a ballet."

Another time, after a long lesson I sat down and just talked to an 11 year old student. We just talked about the mental side of the game, how he was doing in school...life in general After the lesson his mother send me a note day, "Sam wanted you to know that the favorite part of the lessons was you just sitting and talking to him."

Just because an instructor played at a high level, be it college or pro ball, does NOT make them a good teacher of the game. More often than not, they are not good teachers. History tells us the most successful coaches are those that were marginal or not really good players at all. The reason is, they had to study the game, break it down to try and gain any advantage they can. Look for an instructor to TEACHES safe effective mechanics and not only has a passion for the game, but a passion and genuine caring for his students as well as a God Given gift to actually TEACH effectively....with as much positive reinforcement as possible. Any instructor who demonstratively demands things without explanational is not a good teacher. Any instructor who instructs their students by instilling fear and negative reinforcement is not going to get long term results. 

Where are they now? Where do they want to go? What are their weak links? What type of instructor suits your personality. Is it important to have fun while learning?
