What happens at the evaluation?

About an hour, station to station, with our coaches. Your player leaves with a scorecard and a written next step — and you leave knowing exactly where they stand. Bring a glove and athletic shoes; we provide everything else.

  • ▸ Hitting, throwing & fielding stations
  • ▸ Speed and movement measurables
  • ▸ A scorecard you take home
  • ▸ Honest placement — right level, not the priciest one
  • ▸ A short parent report with recommendations
  • ▸ Zero obligation to enroll

How old is your player?

Tap an age group and we'll show you where most Legends players start — and what training looks like at that stage.

Real baseball and softball begins here: a proper swing, a repeatable throw, and learning to field and run the bases the right way — before bad habits set in.

  • Hitting and defensive classes, twice a week
  • Small groups, lots of reps, every drill scaled to size and strength
  • Saturday Skills Lab is a great low-key first visit

The programs

Four class programs make up the Legends system. Memberships bundle them; everything runs on a two-sessions-a-week rhythm with weekly at-home homework.

Hitting Class

Build a swing that holds up: stance, load, bat path, and a situational approach that grows with the player. Baseline testing on day one, re-tests every block so you can see the progress in numbers.

We wrote The State of Youth Baseball & Softball for parents who are deciding how — and how much — to invest in their player's development. It covers where the game is growing, what parents say they actually want from a program, the honest odds of playing in college, and what the research says about burnout and early specialization.

It's free, it's sourced, and there's a full Spanish edition. Ask for it and we'll send it over.

Know before you go

Everything a new Legends family reads in the first week — our parent handbooks and the pathway your player will climb.

Parent Handbooks

Program philosophy, what to expect each season, equipment, safety, and how we report progress — one handbook per level, in English and Spanish. Ask at your evaluation or request a copy by email.

Player Pathway

One development road from first tee to college recruiting: five levels, each with its own skills, fitness, and mindset benchmarks — and a scorecard that shows your player exactly what "ready for the next level" means.

Questions new families ask

Does my child need experience to start?

None at all. The free evaluation exists precisely so we can meet your player where they are — brand-new, rec-league, or travel-ball — and place them at the level where they'll actually improve. Most of our youngest players have never worn a glove before their first visit.

Baseball and softball — both?

Both, at every level. Pitching runs separate baseball and softball tracks (the mechanics are different sports, and we coach them that way), and softball players train through the same hitting, defensive, and performance system.

How often do classes meet — and will it fit our schedule?

Every class program meets twice a week. We built the schedule that way on purpose: two quality sessions plus a short at-home homework plan beats a calendar your family can't sustain. Memberships run in four-week blocks.

What if we just want to try it once?

Start with the free evaluation — it costs nothing and there's no obligation. If you'd rather watch your player in a group setting first, the Saturday Skills Lab is $30 a session and open to non-members up to three visits.

We have two kids. Is there a sibling discount?

Yes — 25% off each additional child's membership, applied to the lower-priced plan. Lessons have their own sibling rate too ($80). Mention both players when you book the evaluation and we'll price it out for you in one conversation.

How will I know if it's working?

You'll see it in writing. Players are baseline-tested when they start and re-tested every block, and you get a progress report each block — the same numbers we coach from, explained in plain language.

Your player's first step is free

One email gets your family on the next evaluation day. We'll take it from there — scorecard, placement, and a plan you can actually follow.
