Our monthly Clubs are designed to introduce youth athletes to the fundamentals of the game. We have three options that cover all aspects of the game. These classes are taught in a progressive manner and introduce new aspects of each skill each week.
All Around Club
This is our most popular Youth Class! The determining factor of the success of a player, is a solid fundamental understanding of the game. Fundamentals are built over time and through proper teaching techniques. ELITE Baseball has defined a series of "absolutes" in hitting, the pitching motion and in the field that all good players have in common. Learn these "absolutes" now and the foundation of the player can be built upon. Our instructors, teach a formula of success that is tailored to this age group, making Major League principles, elementary. Not every player will be a big leaguer one day, but they can be treated like one! This class will spend time on each skill (Hitting, Pitching and Defense).

Our instructors, teach a formula of success that is tailored to this age group, making Major League principles, elementary. Not every player will be a big leaguer one day, but they can be treated like one! This four week class will be taught in a progressive manner focusing on a different phase of the swing each week. Players will work on tee drills, front toss drills and use live batting practice to develop their swing.

These classes are for athletes that are looking to take their game to the next level and build confidence heading into next season.

Private Lesson
Elite Baseball Training's Private Lessons are the best way to address the individual needs of the student.
We understand that every player is different. Elite prides itself on being able to tailor our instruction to any age and ability level. We do this by teaching "absolutes" rather than "styles." "Absolutes" are constants in the fundamentals of hitting, pitching and defense that ALL good players have in common. This prevents our instructors from "cloning" players or teaching a student "the way we did it." Our instructors realize that every student is built a little differently physically, mentally and emotionally, and will fit our instruction to get the best out of every student!
All of our instructors are trained and certified by Justin Stone
which provides consistency of curriculum throughout all of our instructors. Elite has the unique ability to use technology to pass along the most efficient techniques to the player. Our DMA certified instructors use high speed cameras and digital motion analysis to become the most effective teachers in the game. This allows us to teach any player's learning style combining, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory approaches in our lessons.
Elite Baseball Training recommends keeping a visual record of your lessons
by using our voice-over video analysis archiving system. All lesson packages, by digital motion analysis certified instructors will include video analysis as part of your package. But now, our website can archive the real-time analysis on our website for your own personal use. We recommend the add-on archiving feature, as you will have a record of improvement through the learning process that will aid you when you are working on your own.
All of our lesson booking is done on-line.
Lessons booked less than 48 hours in advance need to be called in for availability at 773.961.8682.
All players taking lessons with Elite
must be limited members of Bash Sports Academy. Membership waivers are granted for athletes that live at least 10 miles away from Bash. Memberships are available in person for as little as $115 at the Bash front desk or by calling 773.588.2274.

Recurring Lessons
Recurring Lessons
Recurring Lessons are defined as private lessons scheduled in the same time slot over a period of time greater than the "12-Pack" option can satisfy. To set up Recurring Lessons please email Cory Zomick. When scheduling Recurring Lessons we recommend scheduling at least 45 days before the start of the desired lesson schedule. If you are within the 45-day window Elite Baseball Training may not be able to guarantee the same time slot each week during the requested schedule. All private lesson times will be awarded on a first come first serve basis and during the peak season (November through March) instructor schedules can be released online over 45 days in advance.
Semi Private Lessons
Semi private lessons are the same Elite instruction in partners or small groups. You can build your own group or sign up in one of our semi private classes. Semi private's can be built for 2 to 4 players with 1 coach for an hour of instruction. Groups will have the option of working on 1 or 2 skills (IE, hitting, pitching, defense) in the hour. The semi privates are great for siblings, lessons with friends, or just a cheaper alternative to the private lesson option. Our state of the art, high speed Digital Motion Analysis system can be used in any semi private lesson. You will have the option of having us upload a copy of the video analysis to our website for your own personal use for a small additional fee.
