The Hit Dawg Academy's philosophy is based on player development. Anybody and everyone that wants to work hard on their softball skills, and improve as a player is invited to join our program. Our staff is dedicated to getting you prepared to play at the next level. This is a DEVELOPMENTAL OPPORTUNITY. We focus strongly on fundamentals and the necessary mechanics needed to be successful in softball. From there, winning will take care of itself. 

NEW THIS SEASON: We are moving to small group practices, so each player will be receiving additional one on one training!

This opportunity is for players ages 7 to 18 years of age. The program will go from 10/1/25 through 2/28/26. There will be a total of 5 monthly payments due for the 2025/2026 season- October, November, December, January, & February. The October payment will be paid at the time of registration. Each monthly payment thereafter will be run on the 1st of each month. 



Key Dates for Academy Scheduling Changes:

Adjusted Practice times for Halloween & Super Bowl Sunday

Closed for Thanksgiving Holiday: 11/27-11/29

Closed Christmas Holiday: 12/23-12/26

Closed for New Years Holiday: 12/31-1/1

We will be adjusting our Academy Practice format and schedule over winter break for December 27th through December 30th. We know many families travel and have other fun plans over the winter break. Practices will be set up as an open gym setting so that players can come in whenever works best for them for Baseball and Softball Academy. Our Hit Dawg coaches will be running the Open Gym sessions. Open gym times will be sent out to players. We would like to invite parents to come in with their player(s) if you would like, so you can ask any questions you have about our practices/program and get a better understanding of what we do. Our Regular Practice schedule will resume on 1/2/25.
 

**Academy Players have the option to come in for Open Gym during our regular business hours and use the turfed space/cages for $5/session. For Pro-Batter machine use, the Open Gym fee is $25/session. Open Gym privileges for Academy Members go from 10/1/25 through 8/31/26. 

**This is a 5 month program and commitment. New/First Year Players may sign up for the program until January 1, 2026, if space is available.  After this date, we will not accept new sign ups for the 2025/2026 Season. You may not take months "off" from the program. The only reason we will allow players to take a month off from paying for the program is if they suffer a softball injury. We will then issue an account credit. Credits are not retroactive. If you are hurt in another sport/activity (not related to softball) during our season or miss months for any other reason, you will still be required to pay for that time you miss.
