Power is back on! While Comcast is still working to restore our internet service, we will be open for cage rentals and lessons as scheduled.

Since our Platinum and Gold members are unable to utilize their memberships at this time, we will have Cage 4 available for softball players to use the Hack Attack machine and Cage 5 available for baseball players to use the other Hack Attack.

To make sure everyone has an opportunity to get some reps in, these cages will be limited to 20-minute sessions. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the remaining outage issues, and we’ll continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.

🚨 Facility Update* 🚨

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing power outage, we will remain closed until further notice. At this time, power is expected to be restored by Saturday, but we will continue to monitor the situation closely.

We will provide daily updates through email and our social media platforms as we receive more information.

If you have a scheduled cage rental or lesson, our staff will contact you on the day of your reservation if a cancellation is necessary. Please plan accordingly.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding during this unexpected situation. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to getting back to training with you as soon as possible! ⚾🥎💙

Everyone please stay safe! Just wanted to let everyone know we are currently out of power. Please be careful if you’re out on the roads, avoid downed power lines, and check in on family, friends, and neighbors if you’re able. Hoping everyone stays safe and that power is restored soon!

🥎🔥 Learn from Georgia Softball standout Gabi Novickas! 🔥🥎

This is your chance to work with one of the top young players in college softball before she heads back to Athens for the fall semester!

A Marist High School standout, Illinois State Champion, First Team All-State selection, MaxPreps All-American, and Daily Southtown Player of the Year, Gabi dominated high school softball, hitting .471 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs as a junior after posting 18 home runs and 51 RBIs the season before. Her combination of power, consistency, and defensive excellence made her one of the most sought-after recruits in the country.

Since arriving at the University of Georgia, Gabi has made an immediate impact in the SEC, batting .379 with 8 home runs, 28 RBIs, a .500 on-base percentage, and 24 walks while earning SEC Freshman of the Week honors. She became known for her clutch performances, including multiple grand slams and game-changing hits against some of the nation's top-ranked teams.

Now, for a limited time this summer, athletes will have the opportunity to learn directly from Gabi as she shares the drills, routines, mindset, and techniques that helped her become one of the SEC's rising stars.

💥 Learn how to develop game-changing power at the plate
💥 Improve your defensive skills and confidence in the field
💥 Train with college-level drills used at the highest level of the game
💥 Gain insight into what it takes to compete and succeed in Division I softball
💥 Ask questions and learn from someone who has recently gone through the recruiting process and is thriving at the next level

⭐ This is one of the few opportunities athletes will have to train with Gabi before she returns to Georgia in August. Spots are limited and expected to fill quickly! Don't miss your chance to work with a State Champion, All-State performer, All-American, and SEC standout who is already making a name for herself on one of college softball's biggest stages.

Register today and take your game to the next level! 🥎🔥💪⚡️
