LESSONS
Here at Batters Box KC we take a personal and tailored approach to instruction. We believe that each players strengths and weaknesses are unique and their training should reflect that. We not only strive to be adaptive but interactive in our instruction as well. An important part of our philosophy on training is to do so through understanding. Our goal is not only to develop athletes that have the physical skills needed to be successful but to help develop the mental side of their game as well.
