Coach Karen is probably the best kept secret in fastpitch softball coaching. For my daughters ninth…read morebirthday, this past July, we agreed to find her a pitching coach (a hefty investment for our family). We experimented with several (four!) coaches at local popular training facilities, but no one seemed to be a good fit for our girl. I randomly stumbled upon LKN Pitching while Google searching batting cages, emailed Karen, and got an immediate friendly response. It was love at first lesson. She is a top notch PRO. Easily the best instructor we have ever worked with for any of our kids. Her technical expertise is unparalleled. She is laser focused on where you're athlete is, and knows how to incrementally get them to where they need to be. She doesn't miss a thing! Very in tune with her clients needs. Extremely motivational in her approach to coaching. Uses a variety of coaching tools that provide fun, engaging, useful ways for your child to lean new techniques. Always patient. You will see HUGE progress very quickly with Coach Karen. Frankly, I'm shocked she doesn't have more reviews. I can only assume that she is so coveted by her clients, they probably don't want to share!! I can empathize with that. So very challenging to find good teachers in any arena. When you get one as good as this, you want to hold on tight. Her facility is a perfect, clean, intimate space to get the attention your athlete needs and deserves. No distractions, no attitudes, just solid support. Bonus for homeschoolers, she provides morning and early afternoon lessons!!! Also very hard to come by. I truly can't recommend LKN Pitching enough. The transformation we have seen in our daughter since working with Coach Karen, is remarkable. Did I mention she runs her own travel ball team, LKN Krakens, and coaches varsity softball at SouthLake Christian?? This coach is a powerhouse! Grab her before she's gone.

Her approach to teaching is great, it's positive and knowledgeable. She takes her time to make sure your daughter learns the proper pitching techniques. My daughter always wanted to pitch but had never the opportunity to learn while playing, until this past season when we met coach Karen. Within couple lessons my daughter was able to start in a game with confidence. My daughter will be taking more lessons this winter to prepare her for spring ball. Thanks Karen

T-ball stands, and auto-pitching machines are available too. They have COLD drinks for only $1 available and are super friendly and local. Love it and can't wait for next season!

Even batting cage facilities like this in Charlotte don't have a golf simulator, Pickle ball, fitness classes, basketball, HITTRAX and an indoor soccer area all in one spot! Not to mention they have a lounge area with a big TV to keep you entertained while your waiting on your son or daughter to get in the reps they need. You can rent out time slots for various training areas, or even schedule to have your team use the facility. We showed up a half hour before they closed and the parking lot was packed with cars. I thought there was no way anyone would be there on a late Wednesday night, boy was I wrong! They currently have some weekend events of small group training with local professionals for Softball/Baseball. Friday nights they have 'Fun Nights' for the youth to come have pizza and watch a movie or enjoy the various parts of the facility while the parents hang out or they can go out for a dinner date for a couple hours. (Imagine that, a date with your wife!) Forget Chucky Cheese, you can even rent out the facility for a birthday party! I was able to chat with owners for a little bit and they are awesome locals who just had a dream to do this and the opportunity presented itself. I'm excited to see what happens in the future for them and I'm glad we have such a great resource for the youth and college players locally to use. I hope they continue to grow and someday even offer equipment sales, even if its a small selection of accessories such as bat grip, gloves, etc. that would be great!

Enter the Greensboro Batting Center, a one stop shop for all things baseball and softball. They have token-based batting cages for all speeds in baseball and softball form, traditional batting cages where someone pitches to you or you use a machine rented by the hour, as well as indoor turf fields for fielding practice and all sorts of uses. There is even a full fitness center and weight room! For me, I just wanted to hit some balls, so I bought some tokens at the front for a very reasonable charge, selected a loaner bat, and took to the cages. I started with slow softball, but worked my way up through the speeds all the way up to average baseball, which I think was about 50-60mph. I did a lot better than I thought, though people standing nearby surely got plenty of breeze. You get 20 pitches per token if I counted correct, and most pitches were properly over the plate. Enough variance that you'll need to adjust, but none ever came close to hitting me. Plenty of fans for cooling off, and vending is available if you need a drink. It looks like some local travel clubs use the facility, and possibly some schools. Anyhow, a really great facility, and i'll be back!
