Visit Us at Battery Park

Our two academies are located in Fairfax County and Loudoun County in Northern Virginia. Our Loudoun County facility is located on the north side of Dulles airport and our Fairfax County facility in Springfield. Many students visit us from across the country for an intense weekend of pitching instruction. Our location to major airports and in a center of tourism makes this an educational as well as memorable family weekend.

There are numerous hotel and motel accommodations available in our immediate area. However, depending on the time of year of your visit and due to our close proximity to Washington and the .COM business center of the east coast, there are times when rooms are difficult to find. We suggest that you plan in advance. We have lived in Virginia for 27 years we can suggest many hotel and restaurant options.


Visiting Student Lesson Structure

The lesson structure usually includes six hours (more if necessary or requested) of instruction over two to three days. In the past most players and parents traveling from a distance, arrive Friday night and begin training early Saturday morning; take the afternoon off and finish by mid day Sunday. However, we are flexible about scheduling.

Our first priority is a complete video assessment. This thorough analysis will completely identify your strengths and areas for improvement. The content of our instruction depends on (1) what we discover on your video and (2) your personal requests. We know that many students arrive with particular needs. We will address each and every one.


Hotel Accommodations

We have arranged for accommodation's at two very nice properties less than 5 minutes from our Springfield Academy. Both hotels are across the street from each other and a major shopping mall. Use must our name to receive discount pricing. Both these hotels represent typical differences in accommodations. If you travel often you will find the Hilton more to your liking.
