Clinics give players more reps, more game-like situations and the energy of training alongside others. For families looking for Baseball Clinics in Lemont, IL, Coach Cinz runs 1.5-hour hitting, pitching and fielding clinics at The Play & Thrive Club Naperville.
Lemont is in Cook County, about 30 minutes and about 16 miles southeast of the facility. Our overview of baseball camps and skills clinics lists how each session is structured.
Which clinic fits your Lemont player?
Each clinic costs $204 and runs 1.5 hours. Pick the one that matches your athlete’s biggest goal:
- Hitting Clinic: swing technique, with a focus on timing and repeatable mechanics.
- Pitching Clinic: balance, break and dangle, stride, arm action and follow-through. Players start with partner throws, move to the mound, and get a video breakdown of their mechanics.
- Fielding Clinic: the 6 F’s of a great infielder (Feet, Field, Funnel, Footwork, Fire, Follow), drills, live action off the bat, then situational plays.
Want to bring a group? Clinics have a group option at three times the price. Upcoming dates are posted on Coach Cinz’s Skills Clinics listings.
Baseball Clinics in Lemont, IL: making the trip work
Because clinics are longer sessions, one drive delivers a lot of training. Lemont families often plan a clinic for the weekend, then follow up with a 30-minute private lesson to work on anything that needs individual attention. Private lessons can happen at the Naperville facility or at a location you choose within Chicagoland.
Families in nearby Bolingbrook and Darien make the same trip, and carpooling with teammates is an easy way to share the drive.
Why train with Coach Cinz
Coach Cinz has more than 25 years in baseball and spent five years before the pandemic as a hitting, fielding and pitching instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization. In his clinics he explains the “why” behind each drill, so Lemont players leave knowing what to practice, not just what they did. He also works on the mental game: confidence, mindset and consistency.
Clinics also suit players who learn by watching others. Seeing a teammate make an adjustment often helps an athlete understand the same idea for themselves. For extra focus, a Lemont player can book a 30-minute Private Lesson ($65) before or after a clinic. Members save $20 per lesson, with no limit on how many they book. Bring a glove, a bat, water and athletic shoes to every clinic, and arrive a few minutes early so warm-ups do not eat into training time. Afterward, a short list of drills from the session keeps the work going at home until the next date.
