"Our overall experience was positive! Good value for the price and kept our guys playing baseball through the fall since our town doesn't offer fall ball. We did however end up on a team w a handful of Reading people who joined together and decided to leave together. This left our team at a disadvantage and was upsetting for us and our players. I'm not sure what happened, but it could have been handled better on behalf of those families. Not the fault of EI, but our experience suffered some bc of it. We would try EI again for sure and hope that the people on our team have a more team- oriented attitude!! " read more

Joe and his staff are very professional. The Facility is always clean and organized. My son joined the club this year for the first time. I am very impressed with the coaches professionalism. read more

My son has been a part of the Extra Innings family for a few years and has loved his experience. He's currently on the 11U team with coach Roberto and has developed a close bond with Robert, his teammates, and fellow instructors like Mike, JP, Bobby, and both Danny's :). From Joe on down, we can only recommend Extra Innings if you want your child to develop their game without sacrificing their passion for the game. This is the place to come! read more

Do NOT buy a gift certificate! Warning - Gift certificates may only be applied to group lessons... And they don't have many. You may not apply gift certificates to private lessons. So basically, you can only apply gift certificates to a block of time at the batting cage. $44/hour. read more

Thanis, Extra Innings, for providing an affordable place for passionate softball players to improve their game! Whether it's working on the field, in the cages, or the workout area, it's a great place for players to train. read more

Definitely one of the best training facilities on the Northshore! You can rent an indoor field, a tunnel, or both. The coaches give private lessons to all ages and abilities. They support softball and baseball with some of the most patient professionals giving great pointers and tips. Even the shy kids shine here!! read more

This is a great place for my 12-year-old son and I to practice all phases of the game!

Extra Innings is the place to go. My son has been doing lessons with Mike for pitching and has not only learned new techniques but has learned to have more self confidence in his pitching abilities and its all thanks to Mike and his coaching techniques. read more

I have been here before but did not write a review yet. So I bought a new metal bat and I wanted to break it in real good. So me and my friends come go up to Middleton from Chelsea, because indoor cages are in our area are hard to come by. So they do lessons for kids but not sure about adults. They have a decent size for a shop has everything you need for baseball from batting gloves to socks. Now the cages are not bad at all better than most places. They only have 5 and 1 of them is a home run derby kind where you can see the distance of your ball where it lands. The cages are operated per token, 1 token 12 pitches with options for baseball or softball. Slowest pitch is 40 mph and fastest is 70 mph and a softball slow pitch option also. So I was confused on how to get the cages to operate, so there is a machine that gives you the tokens. It's a black machine that's by the entrance where you see the wall of shoe boxes. There is a paper that's on there that shows you how much dollar amount you put in to how many tokens you get. Overall this place is one of my favorite places to go to. They need one closer to the city because it's an awesome place because here baseball never dies even thru the winter. read more

See all

Great facility with a great staff,they do a great job teaching all of the fundamentals.I highly recommend extra innings.

Bobby Celantano has helped my son James tremendously with his hitting in just a few lessons, and JP Reiling has done the same for his pitching. James really likes both these guys and enjoys the challenge of improving his skills read more

Could be happy with the Middleton facility (and this was before the renovation) and staff. I took my son and a friend. We had a cage to ourselves. Great space. Boys had a great time batting and doing a little pitching and infield work. Can't wait to go back. read more

Waited at the front desk for 15 minutes today and no one was working there. There were only 2 other customers in tunnels so they were not fixing jammed balls in the machines. They could of at least put a sign up saying not open or something. read more

Staff is great. Facility is great! They have everything you need to make it to the next level. There Pro Shop has all top name brands. I have been using Extra Innings for 20 plus years they have never let me down always giving me top notch service. There are no better facilities than Extra Innings. read more

Very nice facility. The staff is helpful, and friendly. The equipment works great. They brought my kids baseball game to a whole other level. read more

I use to rent tunnels here the last three times were bad experiences with the help they need a whole new crew at night. I will not go back again read more

I rent tunnels here all the time to get my three boys some batting reps...on line booking system is great..pitching machines always work and are in good shape. Starting to get a little pricey but overall a good experience every time. read more

Great service over and above! They answered all my sons questions and got him fitted for a glove and bat. Everyone there was extremely helpful and courteous. Keep up the great service! You all rock!! read more

I've been taking my son here for years... we love going here to get in some baseball fun.

My son was there for a 4 day clinic for 5-12year olds. He's 5. I would not recommend the clinic. Especially for the younger kids, 5-7 ish. There are a few coaches who are very good. There are some that do nothing. The supervision is awful. I never felt comfortable enough to leave my child there. I stayed for each session and felt like more of a supervisor than anyone actually there to coach them. They have a long PVC pipe that holds up a rolling garage door. During the lunch break, there is literally no supervision, and one of the kids knocked the pipe loose and the door came crashing down. Luckily I was there along with another concerned grandfather, to shout and pull the kids out of the way. No one was hurt, but literally no staff had responded. If one of the 5 year olds had been on the other side they would have been locked out and no one would have known. It's safe to say we did not return and did not complete the camp. I would not recommend this camp. read more

Great guys running a great facility. My son and his friend went here for batting coaching and had a great experience (at a previous location). I expect this place is just as great. read more

Dont bother. I have come here 3 times in a row and the teenage employees, who sit around on their phones, close the equipment down 45 minutes before closing and don't let you use the tokens you have already purchased. Whoever manages this place needs to get a grip. Dont waste your time. read more

So I have been back a few times since my previous review and I must say my experience is getting better every time. I went to the tent sale this past weekend and the deals were incredible as was the selection. As I stated previously, once again the staff was very helpful and friendly. I still don't know if their return policy has changed since my previous review but let's hope so. read more

My son took part in a fall baseball program geared toward 10 year olds. The instructor Evan was excellent, and the format was a good mix of instruction and actual games played outdoors. I plan to sign him up again! read more

We were ready to drop $180 on a glove and asked the guys at the desk if we could test out the glove. They encouraged us to play a little catch to help with our decision. A manager walked over to my son, pulled the glove off of his hand in a somewhat aggressive manner and threw the glove on the counter as he said "what are you doing, you can't test out the gloves". Wow, enough said! The guys at the desk were horrified, but apparently the manager trumps the desk workers. Yikes! read more

Great place to bring the boys during the off season.

My son LOVES to go to Extra Innings and he has learned so much from Dave and the entire staff!

Worst batting cages I've ever been to in my life, and I've been to at least 20-30. The pitches are unbelievably inconsistent. I selected the 70 mph speed and got a range of 50-80 mph pitches. Some balls were pitched 2-3 ft in front of the plate. It was a joke. The worst part, you have no warning when the pitch is coming. A light goes on about 0.2 seconds before the pitch is pitched, but for 70 mph pitches, you need atleast at 3 second warnings. Very low quality and overpriced read more

Great place. My 11 year old son struggled at the plate last season so I decided to get him some help and a friend recommended them. I signed him up for an hour group lesson with my nephew. Brian was the instructor and was great. After the lesson I had him go in the cage and noticed a big difference after only one lesson. So I signed him up for another this time one on one for a 1/2 hour with Mike and wow. My son was a completely different hitter. Mike did amazing work with my son. I also rented a tunnel a few times and they come with pitching machines that are way better than the cages. You can fine tune the speed and location and They are very accurate. I would definetly recommend this place. Great staff read more

Not your average Extra Innings! This place sets itself above and beyond any Extra Innings I have been to( I've been to quite a few!) the staff is great and the instructors are the BEST! Knowledgable and invested in the kids. I can't say enough about Jack and Pete. Worth the ride if it's not in your area!! read more

Mike is such a skilled pitching coach! He is a pleasure to work with and my son has learned a lot from him.

Good quality coin-op machines. Hit off a machine or live arm in the tunnels. Plenty of opportunities to work on your game pre-season or in-season. I'm here all the time. read more

Excellent variety of baseball sporting goods, fairly priced and excellent service. Timely delivery on backordered items. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Would highly recommend the sporting goods retail side of the business. Facility is functional and well maintained as well. read more

My son has been working on his baseball skills here every winter for the past 5 years. Great people and great sense of community!

gotta give this place an extra star now that i see that the slow pitch softball pitches come in a little bit more realistic.
