A one-on-one lesson gives a player something a team practice cannot: a coach watching every rep. Private Baseball Lessons in Villa Park, IL with Coach Cinz are built around that attention, and around the athlete’s own goals.
You have two ways to train. Come to The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, about 22 miles southwest of Villa Park and roughly 34 minutes away, or book a lesson at a location of your choice within Chicagoland. Our private baseball lessons page covers the details.
How much do private lessons cost for Villa Park families?
A Private Lesson is $65 for 30 minutes. It is always one-on-one, and it can cover any skill: hitting, pitching, infield, catching and more. If 30 minutes feels short, book two or more blocks back to back.
Families who plan to train regularly can choose a membership, which saves $20 per lesson with no limit. Over a season, that adds up.
Private Baseball Lessons in Villa Park, IL: choosing a location
Because the facility is a little over half an hour from home, many parents weigh the options like this:
- At the Naperville facility: the best choice in the off-season and on rainy days, when lessons, camps and clinics move indoors.
- At a location you choose: handy in good weather if you prefer to stay closer to home, anywhere within Chicagoland.
- Online: a Zoom Lesson or a Video Analysis for a quick check-in between sessions.
Please do not assume a particular local field is available. We agree on the location together when you book.
Can a Villa Park player combine private work with clinics?
Yes. Some players take a regular Private Lesson for individual attention and add a 1.5-hour clinic ($204) when they want more reps around other athletes. The hitting, pitching and fielding clinics have a group option at three times the price, which suits a few Villa Park teammates who want to train together. The Private Lesson itself always stays one-on-one.
What happens in the first lesson?
Coach Cinz starts by watching. He looks at movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, then chooses one or two changes that will make the biggest difference. He explains the “why” behind each adjustment, a point parents mention often in his 4.9-star Google reviews.
He also pays attention to confidence and mindset. A player who believes in the plan practices with more focus, and that carries into games.
If you want a deeper starting point, the Personal Assessment ($195, one-on-one only) gives a personal opinion of where your player stands.
Villa Park is in DuPage County, and we train players from all around it. See pitching lessons for families in nearby Elmhurst and youth training in Lombard.

Can Coach Cinz give a private lesson closer to Villa Park?
Yes. Private lessons can be held at a location of your choice within Chicagoland, so families who prefer not to drive about 34 minutes to Naperville can suggest a spot closer to home. The location is agreed when you book.
Is a private lesson in Villa Park better than a clinic?
It depends on the goal. A Private Lesson gives one-on-one attention on a single skill for $65 per 30 minutes. Clinics run 1.5 hours in a group setting and suit players who like training alongside others. The free Benchmark helps decide.
