Colorado Baseball and Softball Academy

 

North Denver, on 58th near Washington. They don’t have a web site, but call 303-298-0611 for prices, directions, etc. They are generally a lot cheaper than Slammers, and don’t have the “Big League Dreams, Big League Headaches” atmosphere. They do have one lane to work off a mound with a catcher.

Hit Streak

 

Members-only, sets up a personal training system with you for you to work off of their pitching machines that throw all different pitches that you program in. It’s not cheap, but can probably help anyone improve by leaps and bounds before the season even starts. Go to www.hitstreak.com for more info. It’s in Centennial.

Lilly Pond

 

Our first choice for practices, located at the corner of Independence and Maplewood in Littleton.

Colorow

 

Our alternate for practices. Located a few blocks west of Lilly Pond, it allows us to hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

Facilities in Parker and Boulder

 

I’ve been told that there are some new or small facilities in Parker and Boulder. If you know where they are and have info for me, let me know so I can post it. Thanks.

Text Box: The Yard

The Yard has plenty of stuff to get your bats ready, and a few lanes to hit off live pitching. It’s $90 for 1.5 hrs with the entire facility, which is worth it if you have at least 8-10 guys. Go to www.theyarddenver.com for more info. Located in Littleton

Slammers

 

At the NE corner of Jewel and Wadsworth. Lanes are $40/hr, and they have indoor batting cages.
