I've been taking my sons to Lumberyard Baseball Academy for the past two years. I found them initially looking for an idea for my sons 10th birthday party. He likes baseball but never played. The Lumberyard offers birthday party packages. We did one and all the kids had a fantastic time! This was a super easy and fun way to entertain 10 boys all between the ages of 8 and 12.
After that, my son (the birthday boy) wanted to start playing baseball on a team. I had him do a couple other camps with different trainers- and then we did the Lumberyard's camps and clinics. These are the only one my son does now. I asked him to compare and he said "The Lumberyard is the best! You get a lot of personal attention at these. The other ones didn't make you feel that way."
He also has told me many times that he learns the most from the coaches at Lumberyard. We do each one that comes up.
As a mom, I knew my son was starting baseball later than the other kids on his teams. The camps, clinics and private lessons have helped my son become one of the strongest players on his teams. He's continually learning how to improve his skills, and he's around coaches at the Lumberyard that really care about the kids on and off the field. I highly recommend them to any parent who wants to help their son or daughter with softball or baseball.
They are going to start more intermediate and advanced camps too this summer. We'll be there! read more
