Which program fits an Elburn player?
- Not sure where to begin? The Personal Assessment ($195, 1-on-1) gives an honest, personal opinion of where the player stands.
- One skill to fix? A Private Lesson ($65, 30 minutes) can cover hitting, pitching, infield or catching.
- Likes working with other players? Hitting, Pitching and Fielding Clinics run 1.5 hours for $204.
- Wants a complete evaluation? The Full Scouting Analysis ($390, 3 hours) covers hitting, pitching, fielding and base running with a detailed report.
Whatever the program, the teaching centers on movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, plus the mental game: confidence, mindset and consistency.
If you are still unsure, that is normal. The free Benchmark exists so the first program is chosen from the player’s goals and measured metrics, not a guess. A player aiming to make a high school roster may need something different from a 10-year-old who simply wants to enjoy the game and swing with confidence.
How long is the drive from Elburn?
Elburn is in Kane County, about 23.2 miles northwest of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, or about 33 minutes by car. Lessons, camps and clinics run there in the off-season and on rainy days. Private lessons can also be held at a location of your choice within the Chicagoland area, which can save Elburn families part of the drive during the season.
Because the trip is a little longer than for some towns, many players book two 30-minute blocks back to back to get more out of each visit. Elburn players who train through the winter often find the indoor facility the easiest way to keep their swing and arm ready for spring.
