Programs

Everything the academy runs

Clinics, group training, strength classes, cage time and camps. Pricing depends on the program and how often your athlete trains, so give us a call and we will lay out the options.

Youth and high school hitters

Youth Hitting Training

Small-group hitting work in the cages, tracked with HitTrax so a swing change shows up as a number, not an opinion. Exit velocity, launch angle and contact quality get logged every session.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

Youth Pitching Clinic

Arm care, mechanics and command built on Driveline pitching modules, with HitTrax and radar guns tracking velocity so young arms build speed on healthy patterns.

Tuesday and Thursday - 5:00pm

Indoor batting cages with turf lanes, pitching machines and clay mounds at Rip City Academy

Throwing Program with Greg Marchbanks

Baseball and softball throwers, all levels

Our throwing program is run by Greg Marchbanks, with arm care, progressions and velocity tracked on radar. Built to add arm speed without adding risk.

Seasonal - included with the Elite membership

Saturday Hitting & Fielding Clinic

Youth players

Two hours split between the cages and infield work. A weekly touchpoint for players who train elsewhere during the week or are new to structured practice.

Saturdays - 10:00am to 12:00pm

Middle school through college athletes

Strength & Conditioning

Run by full-time strength coaches on programming built in-house. Power and velocity go up while movement patterns stay clean, which is the whole point of lifting in-season.

Group classes weekly, plus Saturday mobility
