How do online softball hitting lessons work for Park Forest players?
There are three online options:
- Zoom Lesson: $65 for 30 minutes, 1-on-1, with a consultation first. The hitter sets up a camera, and Coach Cinz coaches live.
- Video Analysis: $35. Send a video of a swing and get drills back.
- Full Scouting Analysis: $390. An in-depth, 3-hour evaluation of hitting, pitching, fielding and base running, with a detailed report.
Softball pitches arrive fast, and hitters have very little time to decide. That makes timing a big focus. Coach Cinz looks at movements, mechanics and, most importantly, timing, and he explains why each adjustment matters.
When is a trip to Naperville worth it?
Park Forest is in Cook County, southeast of Naperville, about 44.7 miles away. The drive is about 67 minutes. An in-person visit makes the most sense for:
- A Personal Assessment ($195, 1-on-1) to get a detailed opinion of where the hitter stands.
- A Hitting Clinic ($204, 1.5 hours) on swing technique, with a group option at 3× the price.
- A block of back-to-back Private Lessons when you want live reps.
Building a plan for Softball Hitting Lessons in Park Forest, IL
Everything starts with the free Benchmark. The athlete answers goal questions online, and Coach Cinz replies within 48 hours with times to measure current metrics. Those numbers set the plan: how often to meet on Zoom, when to send video, and when a trip makes sense.
He also works on confidence, mindset and consistency. Parents often mention his patience with kids who learn differently. Every athlete who books training gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile to track stats, goals and progress.
A simple setup works for home sessions. Film from the side and from behind, keep the camera at about hip height, and make sure the whole body stays in the frame. Practicing with a tee or soft toss is enough for most drills. Consistent filming makes it easier to compare swings from week to week, and it helps Coach Cinz give feedback that the hitter can act on right away.
Players from nearby Homewood and Flossmoor use a similar mix of online and in-person training.

Why does Coach Cinz suggest online-first lessons for Park Forest?

What does a Park Forest hitter need for a Zoom Lesson?
A phone or tablet on a stable surface, enough room to swing safely, and a clear camera angle of the hitter's whole body. Each 30-minute Zoom Lesson is $65 and begins with a consultation so Coach Cinz understands the hitter's goals first.
