Dundee is about 49 minutes north of our Naperville facility, which is a real drive for a young player on a school night. That is why Youth Baseball Training in Dundee, IL with Coach Cinz is built around fewer, fuller visits and guided practice at home in between. Our youth baseball training page explains the overall approach.
How can a Dundee family make the drive worthwhile?
- Plan sessions at the facility. The Play & Thrive Club Naperville is about 27.8 miles away and hosts lessons, camps and clinics in the off-season and on rainy days.
- Double up. Book two back-to-back 30-minute Private Lessons, at $65 each, so one trip covers two skills or one skill in depth.
- Stay connected online. Between visits, use a $65 Zoom Lesson or a $35 Video Analysis to keep progress moving.
Families who want more structure can book a Zoom Lesson every other week and send a Video Analysis clip in the weeks between. The plan stays flexible, so it can shift as school and sports schedules change. Membership saves $20 per lesson, with no limit.
Camps and clinics are another good reason to make the trip, because a 1.5-hour clinic gives a young player a full block of coaching and reps with other kids.
What does Youth Baseball Training in Dundee, IL focus on?
With young athletes, Coach Cinz starts from their goals. From there he works on movement and mechanics, and he treats timing as the most important skill of all. He also coaches the mental game: confidence, mindset and consistency.
Parents in his Google reviews talk about his patience with kids who learn differently, and about hearing the why behind each adjustment. He is rated 4.9 stars from 66 Google reviews and has more than 25 years in baseball, including five years before the pandemic as an instructor with the Chicago White Sox organization.
Coach Cinz Baseball works with softball players too, so brothers and sisters can train with the same coach. Young pitchers should follow the MLB/USA Baseball Pitch Smart guidelines and rest a sore arm; for pain, see a doctor or athletic trainer.
Zoom and video for young players
A Zoom Lesson is 30 minutes, one-on-one and online, and it starts with a consultation. Video Analysis is simpler: send a short video of a skill and get drills back. Both let a Dundee player practice at home with clear direction between trips to Naperville.
For a family deciding where to begin, a $195 Personal Assessment on a facility visit gives a one-on-one, personal opinion of where the athlete stands. Every athlete who books training also gets a Play 2 Earn Sports player profile to track stats, goals and progress.
We also work with families in nearby Carpentersville and Elgin.

Dundee families ask
Is Naperville too far from Dundee for a young player?
The drive is about 49 minutes, or about 27.8 miles south. One way to make it work is to book two back-to-back 30-minute lessons per trip and use Zoom Lessons or Video Analysis between visits. That keeps practice regular without a weekly drive.
Can my Dundee child start online instead of in person?
Yes. A Zoom Lesson is a 30-minute, one-on-one online session that begins with a consultation, and it costs $65. The free Benchmark is still the recommended first step, and afterward you can decide how to mix online and in-person work.
