Private Instruction at The LOT
Private lessons give baseball and softball players focused time to develop their skills, address specific areas of their game, and train with greater purpose. The LOT works with experienced local instructors who offer personalized coaching for a variety of ages and ability levels.
Lessons may focus on hitting, pitching, catching, fielding, throwing mechanics, or overall player development. Each instructor sets their own schedule, availability, and lesson rates.
