The Strike Zone
If you live near Hamilton Southeastern Schools, you should visit The Strike Zone located at 12550 Promise Creek Lane off of 126th and Promise Road near Billericay Ball Park. The Strike Zone was founded in order to provide a first class facility where individuals and teams can train, have access to quality instruction, and generally improve their baseball/softball skills to the best of their ability.
“We have a staff of excellent baseball and softball instructors providing individual and group instruction,” says Rory Underwood, owner of Strike Zone. “We believe we have a lot to offer players that choose to take advantage of these exceptional instructors and their experience.”
In addition to qualified instruction, the Strike Zone offers 5,000 square feet of field turf, four collapsible batting cages, and mobile pitching mounds.The Strike Zone is proud to offer Annual Family Memberships. These Family Memberships are limited and offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. For families having more than one baseball/softball player, this membership can be economically efficient and convenient. Some of the membership benefits include: all immediate family members are included in your family membership; designated “Members Only” cages are reserved throughout the week; facility schedule is posted online for quick updates and availability, and you can have 24-hour access by secure coded entrance (live surveillance.)
“Although we are not members, we find the Strike Zone incredibly convenient in both location and scheduling lessons,” says Mark Westlake, father of 13 year old, Max Westlake, who plays for the HSE Royals 13U Travel Team. He continues, “We currently participate in individual hitting and pitching lessons and in group conditioning classes each week. I don’t think most people realize how much professional level instruction is available right here in our town with ex-players such as Jason Taulman, Rob Barber and Jim Reboulet.”
Many teams utilize the Strike Zone space to train in the off season. “I really like the availability the Strike Zone has to offer my team for practices, without the distraction of other teams or lessons being held,” says Lisa Lohrey, team manager of the 16U US Athletic Travel Team. “We are able to hold a practice, with access to all the cages, pitching mounds and/or a small throwing area, if we choose. This allows my players to concentrate better.”
The Strike Zone also offers Group Hitting Lessons and Winter Training Boot Camp (arm strength and health) provided by REB Baseball. These classes are at the Strike Zone and coached by Jim Reboulet, former professional player with the St Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Reb Baseball will be having a 4 week hitting class on Mondays, beginning Feb. 8 thru March 1.
4th-6th grade: 6:00pm- 6:45pm & 7th-12th grade: 6:45 pm-7:30 pm. To register for these classes, contact, Jim Reboulet at 317-753-7638.
Rob Barber (www.coachbarbs.com), General Manager of US Athletic Baseball (www.usathletic.com) and Instructor at Strike Zone, sums up the overall experience of this academy: “I think the Strike Zone has a great team of coaches and is the perfect place for the baseball and softball families of Fishers to develop or refine their skills. To me, the Strike Zone is almost like the Cheers of baseball! It’s definitely a comfortable, convenient and very friendly place to either get instruction with some great guys or to just work with your kid in a cage.”
However, other programs are offered by The Strike Zone, such as, The Cardinal Fitness Boot Camp. To register call Tracey Meister, boot camp leader, at (317) 590-0963 or email her at tracey@thefitnesswarrior.com.
Also, for young children, The Strike Zone offers Lil’Kickers, a nationally renowned program specially designed for boys and girls, ages 18 months to 7 years. This agenda introduces children to the concept of soccer, while not only developing movement and interaction skills, but also, using soccer as a tool to teach children about life.
By the way, Strike Zone is hosting “Nike Team Day” on Saturday, February 20th from 10:30am to 12:30pm. You can visit Strike Zone and save up to 20% on high quality Nike equipment and apparel. If you know of someone who needs a new bat, a pair of batting gloves, a batting bag, or any type of performance apparel, then send them to The Strike Zone on Nike Team Day to take advantage of this substantial savings.
