When the facility is almost an hour away, the session needs to be worth the trip. That is why Baseball Clinics in Oak Lawn, IL are a smart fit: each clinic with Coach Cinz runs 1.5 hours, so one drive delivers a real block of training.
Oak Lawn is in Cook County, about 49 minutes and about 27 miles east of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville. Our page on baseball camps and skills clinics explains how sessions are run.
Three clinics, one goal each
All clinics are $204 for 1.5 hours, and each has a group option at three times the price:
- Hitting Clinic: swing technique, with the emphasis on timing.
- Pitching Clinic: balance, stride, arm action and follow-through, partner throws and mound work, plus a video breakdown of mechanics.
- Fielding Clinic: the 6 F’s of a great infielder, drills, live action off the bat and situational plays.
How should Oak Lawn families plan a clinic day?
Treat it like a training day, not a quick stop. Some tips:
- Pick the one skill your athlete most wants to improve, and choose that clinic.
- Arrive a little early so the player is warmed up and ready.
- Consider adding a 30-minute Private Lesson on the same trip for individual follow-up.
- Take notes or short videos of the drills to repeat at home.
Upcoming dates are posted in Coach Cinz’s Skills Clinics listings.
Baseball Clinics in Oak Lawn, IL, plus training between trips
The work should not stop when you get home. A $35 Video Analysis lets your athlete send a clip of a skill and get drills back. A 30-minute Zoom Lesson gives live 1-on-1 feedback online. Together they keep an Oak Lawn player progressing between clinic dates.
Coach Cinz has more than 25 years in baseball, including five years as an instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization. He explains the “why” behind each drill and works on confidence and consistency as much as mechanics. Players in nearby Orland Park and Palos Park follow a similar clinic-plus-video plan.
Parents often ask which clinic an Oak Lawn player should try first. If your athlete plays one main position, start there. If they are still finding a position, the Hitting Clinic is a natural first choice, since every player bats. The free Benchmark helps settle the question with real metrics. Members also save $20 per lesson with no limit, which helps when a clinic trip includes a private lesson. After each clinic, keep a short note of the two or three drills that felt most useful, and repeat them a few times a week until the next visit.
Begin with the free Benchmark goals form. Coach Cinz replies within 48 hours with times to measure your athlete’s metrics and suggest the right clinic. See every option on our clinics and camps overview.
