Before your first session
Good to know
Which training option should we choose?
Private lessons offer time dedicated to one athlete. Small group training adds shared drills and competition with friends or teammates. If you’re unsure, tell us your goals and we’ll help you decide.
Do we need to bring our own small group?
When you contact us, include the number of players and their ages. If you don’t have a group, ask staff about suitable options or browse our scheduled fall clinics.
What should athletes bring and wear?
Bring your glove, bat and any position-specific gear you use, plus water. Wear sneakers or turf shoes. No metal or molded cleats are allowed inside the facility. Ask us about equipment needs when booking.
Can a one-hour lesson be split or shared?
No. One-hour private lessons cannot be divided into two 30-minute sessions or shared between athletes. Choose the small group option for 2–4 players training together.
What if a small-group player misses a session?
All registered players are expected to attend each session. No credits or refunds are offered for missed small-group sessions. Contact BVSA about an attendance change before the session so staff can confirm the arrangements and applicable rate.
Can we request a particular instructor?
Let us know your preference when booking. Instructor availability varies, and BVSA may adjust the instructor for any session as needed.
