[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's a good place for a 8th grader to do individual hitting and feilding training/lessons to get ready for high school try outs? Not looking for college recruitment or MLB here, but my kid is a good baseball player who would like to make his high school team. Looking for a training facility that will help him to improve, but not looking for baseball to take over our lives (he plays other sports). We were thinking of Prime Time, but this post has put me off that. Is there a good place (preferably near Bethesda or Chevy Chase) that can do solid training and not be otherwise awful? [/quote] I don't have a suggestion in BCC area, but just a word of warning. All the instructors will try to change your kid's swing. If you are OK with that, that's fine but this close to tryouts I'd be concerned, especially if your son is already a good hitter. My son did lessons at Ignite and they try to change every kid's swing the same way, basically emphasizing power. That's great for some kids, but if your kid is more of a contact hitter, it can really mess with them. I know several kids who all got the same "corrections". We did lessons all last winter and my kid went from being a good hitter to one with a high strikeout rate because he was always trying to drive the ball.[/quote]
