If your daughter or son is searching for Softball Hitting Lessons in Oswego, IL, the drive is short: Coach Cinz Baseball works out of The Play & Thrive Club Naperville, about 18 minutes from Oswego. We are a baseball and softball company, and every hitter’s plan starts with her or his own goals.
Coach Cinz (Kyle) has spent over 25 years in baseball as a player or coach, including five years before the pandemic as a hitting, fielding and pitching instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization. His hitting work is built on movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing. You can see how that approach carries over on our softball lessons and hitting instruction page.
How far is Naperville from Oswego for softball hitting lessons?
Oswego sits in Kendall County, about 9.5 miles southwest of the Naperville facility. That is close enough for a weeknight lesson after school or practice. Families have two in-person options:
- The Naperville facility at 808 Rte 59 #120, used in the off-season and on rainy days.
- A location you choose within the Chicagoland area, so a hitter can train where she already practices.
Because the drive is short, many Oswego families book a regular weekly slot during the off-season, when the indoor facility keeps the work going through cold and wet weather. Once the season starts, a lesson at a field you choose can fit around team practice. Either way, the goal is steady, repeatable reps rather than one big overhaul right before games.
What a hitting lesson actually works on
A good softball swing has very little time to get the barrel to the ball, so Coach Cinz spends much of each lesson on timing: when the load starts, how the stride lands, and how the hands and hips work together. Mechanics are adjusted one piece at a time, and he explains the “why” behind each change so the player can repeat it without him.
Parents in his Google reviews (4.9 stars from 66 reviews) often mention improved confidence, and that he is patient with kids who learn differently. The mental side matters at the plate too, so lessons also build a steady routine and a calmer mindset between pitches.
