AFFORDABLE & EFFECTIVE HITTING INSTRUCTION (BASEBALL & SOFTBALL)
Parents, if you want to help your youngster improve his or her swing but don't want to mortgage the house doing it, I provide private hitting instruction for both baseball and softball in the Olney, MD, area at very affordable rates.  Check out the details on the
Instruction page.

NOTICE:  The Swing the Bat! batting cage is for instruction only - not open to the public. Try the Baseball Zone for public, coin operated batting cages in the Olney-Rockville area.
