Contact Coach NickWho these lessons are for
Young pitchers ages 8–16 who want to throw more strikes
Kids who are new to pitching and need a safe, simple start
Players on rec, travel, or school teams who want one-on-one help between practices
Parents who want a coach who puts arm care first
Every lesson is private and one-on-one, so it's built around your child, not a group.
What a lesson looks like
Every session follows the same order, so kids know what to expect and the arm is ready before it works hard.
1. Stretching and band routine.
We warm up the body and the small shoulder muscles first. Our band routine checklist is the one we use.
2. Throwing drills.
Short, focused drills that build one movement at a time.
3. Mechanics.
We fix the one or two things that will help your child the most right now, not ten things at once.
4. Bullpen.
Your child puts it all together off the mound, with a focus on hitting the target.
Command comes first. We teach kids to throw strikes before we chase speed. A pitcher who can hit spots has more fun, gets more innings, and puts less stress on the arm.
Where we train
Fleischmann Park (opens in a new tab), Naples.
This is our home base for lessons, and it's an easy trip for most North Naples families.
Anywhere in Collier County.
If it works better, Coach Nick can come to your field, park, or backyard. Mention it when you reach out.

Questions parents ask
We work with kids ages 8–16. Eight is a good age to start learning a safe, simple motion before bad habits set in. Older players come to us to clean up mechanics and throw more strikes.
