A good swing is mostly about timing, and that is where Coach Cinz starts. If your family is searching for Baseball Hitting Lessons in Bolingbrook, IL, our Naperville facility sits about 22 minutes northwest of Bolingbrook, around 12 miles by car. Bolingbrook is one of the towns we list in our service area, and hitters from Will County make the trip every week.
Before booking, it helps to see how the whole process fits together on our baseball hitting lessons overview. Here is how it looks for a Bolingbrook hitter.
Why timing comes before power
Many young hitters try to swing harder when they struggle. Coach Cinz, who spent over 25 years in baseball as a player or coach, usually looks first at when the swing starts. A hitter who is on time can use their mechanics; a hitter who is late never gets the chance. Lessons usually cover:
- Load and stride timing against different speeds
- A balanced base through contact
- Hand path and bat path through the zone
- Approach and confidence in the box
One review theme we hear often: a 12-year-old who used to freeze at the plate went on to hit his first home run. Confidence is part of the work, not an afterthought.
How far is Naperville from Bolingbrook for hitting lessons?
The drive is about 22 minutes and roughly 12 miles. Lessons take place at The Play & Thrive Club Naperville on Route 59, indoors in the off-season and on rainy days. A Private Lesson can also be scheduled at a location you choose within Chicagoland, which some families prefer during the summer.
We also work with families in nearby Romeoville and players from Woodridge, so carpooling with a teammate is often possible.
Choosing Baseball Hitting Lessons in Bolingbrook, IL: your options
- Private Lesson ($65, 30 minutes): one-on-one; book back-to-back blocks for longer sessions.
- Hitting Clinic ($204, 1.5 hours): a group clinic focused on swing technique.
- Beat the Coach ($55, 30 minutes, ages 16+): four charted live at-bats tracked by HitTrax. Get two hits and your money back.
A membership saves $20 per lesson with no limit, which adds up for hitters who train weekly. Softball hitters are welcome as well; the same timing-first approach applies to a fastpitch swing. And because the drive is short, many Bolingbrook families pair a weekly lesson with a clinic during the off-season, then taper to occasional check-ins once games begin.

Bolingbrook families ask
Can Bolingbrook players take hitting lessons somewhere other than Naperville?
Yes. Private Lessons can be held at a location of the client's choice within the Chicagoland area. Otherwise, lessons run at The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, about 22 minutes and 12 miles from Bolingbrook, which is especially handy in the off-season or when it rains.
What does a first hitting session look like for a Bolingbrook athlete?
Most hitters start with the free Benchmark. The athlete answers goal questions online, then Coach Cinz measures current metrics in person. After that he builds a plan around those goals, usually starting with timing before adjusting mechanics or adding power.
