At over an hour from our facility, the smartest way to train is often from home. Online Baseball Lessons in Libertyville, IL let players work 1-on-1 with Coach Cinz over Zoom and through video review, with an occasional trip to Naperville when an in-person session adds real value.
Coach Cinz has more than 25 years in baseball, including five years as a hitting, fielding and pitching instructor in the Chicago White Sox organization. See how remote coaching works on our page about online baseball lessons and swing analysis.
Three ways to train online
- Zoom Lesson ($65, 30 minutes): live 1-on-1 coaching, starting with a consultation so the session targets your goals.
- Video Analysis ($35): submit a video of a skill, such as a swing, a throw or a fielding rep, and get drills back.
- Full Scouting Analysis ($390, 3 hours): an in-depth evaluation of hitting, pitching, fielding and base running, with a detailed report.
Many players start with a Video Analysis, move to regular Zoom Lessons, and use the Full Scouting Analysis when they want a complete picture of their game.
Online Baseball Lessons in Libertyville, IL: does remote coaching work?
It works well when the focus is clear. Coach Cinz teaches movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, and he explains the “why” behind each adjustment. That makes it easier for a Libertyville player to understand what to feel for and practice it correctly without a coach standing beside them. He also coaches the mental game: confidence, mindset and consistency.
A few tips for good sessions: set the camera so the whole body is in frame, use steady lighting, and have space to swing or throw safely.
When is a trip to Naperville worth it?
The Play & Thrive Club Naperville is about 73 minutes and about 54 miles south of Libertyville, which is in Lake County. Save the drive for moments that benefit most from being in person, such as a 1-on-1 Personal Assessment or a 1.5-hour skills clinic. Pair it with a private lesson on the same day to make the trip count.
Players in nearby Vernon Hills and Mundelein follow the same online-first plan.
Consistency is what makes online training pay off. A Libertyville player who books a Zoom Lesson every week or two, sends a Video Analysis between sessions, and practices the assigned drills most days will usually see clearer progress than one who trains in bursts. Members save $20 per lesson with no limit, which helps families who train on a regular schedule. Every athlete who books training also gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile to track stats, goals and progress over time.
Get started with the free Benchmark goals form. Coach Cinz replies within 48 hours to set up a time to measure your athlete’s metrics. Learn more on our online lessons page.
Libertyville families ask
Do Libertyville players ever need to train in person?
Most training can happen online through Zoom Lessons and Video Analysis. Occasional trips to Naperville, about 73 minutes from Libertyville, are useful for a Personal Assessment or a 1.5-hour clinic. Many families pair that visit with a private lesson so the drive delivers as much as possible.
What does a Libertyville player need for a Zoom baseball lesson?
A phone, tablet or laptop with a camera, a steady spot to set it so the full body is visible, good lighting, and safe space to swing, throw or field. Each Zoom Lesson starts with a consultation, so Coach Cinz knows your goals before the coaching begins.
