Carpentersville parents often picture lessons as a weekly drive. They do not have to be. Baseball Lessons in Carpentersville, IL with Coach Cinz can follow a simple monthly rhythm: a few focused visits to Naperville, with online check-ins in between. The details are on our Naperville baseball lessons page.
Coach Cinz Baseball, established in 2019, focuses on the athlete’s goals first. Coach Cinz has over 25 years in baseball as a player or coach and five years before the pandemic with the Chicago White Sox organization, working mainly with pre-draft players.
What does a month of training look like from Carpentersville?
Here is one example. Your plan will follow the goals from your Benchmark, and it can shift around school and team schedules. In-season, many families lean more on the online weeks; in the off-season, more on the facility.
- Week 1: Visit Naperville for two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons.
- Week 2: Send a video for Video Analysis ($35) and practice the drills you get back.
- Week 3: A 30-minute Zoom Lesson ($65) to check progress live.
- Week 4: Back to the facility, or a 1.5-hour Hitting, Pitching or Fielding Clinic ($204).
The drive, in plain numbers
Carpentersville is in Kane County, about 28.9 miles north of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville. The trip is about 51 minutes each way. That is why we suggest planning sessions at the facility on purpose, doubling up lessons on one trip, and letting Zoom and Video Analysis carry the work between visits.
What players learn
Private Lessons ($65, 30 minutes) can cover hitting, pitching, infield or catching. Coach Cinz focuses on movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, and he works on confidence, mindset and consistency. Pitchers are taught with the MLB/USA Baseball Pitch Smart guidelines in mind, and a sore arm gets rest.
Parents in his reviews (4.9 stars from 66 on Google) say he explains the “why” and is patient with kids who learn differently.
Mixing formats also helps a player take ownership. When a Carpentersville athlete films his own swing or throws for Video Analysis, he starts to see what the coach sees, and the Zoom check-ins become conversations instead of one-way instruction. By the next facility visit, the basics are in place and the session can move on to the next step. Over a season, that steady rhythm tends to matter more than any single lesson, because the player keeps practicing the right things between visits.

Carpentersville families ask
Do Carpentersville players need to come to Naperville every week?
No. The facility is about 51 minutes and 28.9 miles from Carpentersville, so many families plan in-person visits every couple of weeks, book two 30-minute lessons per trip, and use Zoom Lessons or Video Analysis in between to keep the work going.
What happens in a Zoom Lesson for a Carpentersville player?
A Zoom Lesson is a 30-minute, 1-on-1 online session for $65, with a consultation first. Coach Cinz watches the player's movement live, explains what to change and why, and gives drills to practice before the next in-person visit to Naperville.
