Elite Alabama Training

Located in Winter Park, the 30,000 square foot indoor training facility was established to give players and parents alike a place to participate in an innovative approach to baseball and educational programs while offering the finest in one on one instructional training all under one roof. Baseball players from youth to professional levels are “covering their training bases” by participating in the Acceleration Sports Training Programs and improving their running speed, agility, throwing velocity and accuracy, and hitting skills.

Efficiency and Efficacy for Pitchers can be somewhat subjective in nature. Velocity, Accuracy / Command, Deception, Pitch Selection, Pitch Versatility, Game Management, and the ability to cause disconnections in hitters quantify the efficiency and overall value of a pitcher. Pitchers come in all shapes and sizes. Our intention is to optimize your innate gifts, not change or alter these gifts unless completely warranted. This is a good age to teach kids how to switch hit. Many of the switch pitchers started out as switch hitters. Switch hitting helps with balance and learning the strike zone, which will come in handy when pitching.
