BIG NEWS FOR THE SPORTS U FAMILY!

SPORTS U POWERED BY ATHLETES ACCELERATION!

COMING DECEMBER 2026!

Sports U Families,

I've got some exciting news to share, and I truly believe this is going to be one of the biggest steps we've taken in helping young athletes reach their full potential!

For years, our mission at Sports U has been to provide a place where baseball and softball players can develop their skills, build confidence, work hard, and chase their dreams.

But I've always believed we can do even more for our athletes.

And now, we're making it happen!

This December, we're officially opening SPORTS U POWERED BY ATHLETES ACCELERATION, a brand-new sports performance training facility located INSIDE Sports U!

This is something my business partner and best friend, Greg Fischer, and I are extremely passionate about.

And along with my Sports U partner, Chad Fortenberry, we're excited to bring this incredible opportunity to our athletes, families, and community!

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

Because becoming a great athlete takes more than just practicing your sport.

You can spend hours in the batting cage, on the mound, or working on your fielding, but if you're not developing your overall athletic ability, you're leaving a huge part of your potential untapped.

Speed matters.

Strength matters.

Explosive power can be the difference between getting thrown out and beating the throw, between a routine fly ball and a ball driven into the gap.

That's why we're bringing Athletes Acceleration to Sports U!

WE'RE BUILDING BETTER ATHLETES, NOT JUST BETTER BALLPLAYERS!

Our new performance training program will focus on three major areas:

SPEED DEVELOPMENT

Helping athletes improve their first-step quickness, acceleration, running mechanics, and overall speed.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

Building age-appropriate functional strength that translates directly to better athletic performance, increased confidence, and stronger movement.

EXPLOSIVE POWER

Developing the athletic explosiveness needed to run faster, jump higher, swing harder, throw with more power, and compete at a higher level.

And here's what makes this even more exciting.

Athletes Acceleration uses a proven training approach built around athletic assessments, individualized development, and measurable progress.

We want our athletes to see the results of their hard work and understand exactly how they're improving.

THIS IS BIGGER THAN BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL!

While Sports U has built its reputation around baseball and softball development, our new sports performance training facility will serve young athletes from ALL sports!

Football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, and more.

If your child wants to become faster, stronger, more explosive, and more confident in their athletic ability, we want to help them get there.

MORE VALUE FOR OUR SPORTS U FAMILIES!

One of the things I'm most excited about is what this means for our existing Sports U families.

We're investing in the future of Sports U by bringing another level of training and opportunity directly into the facility you already know and trust.

Our goal is to create a place where athletes can work on their sport-specific skills AND develop the physical tools needed to take those skills to the next level.

Think about the value of being able to train your swing, improve your throwing mechanics, develop your speed, and build explosive strength all under one roof!

That's the direction we're taking Sports U.

And we're just getting started!

GRAND OPENING TRAINING MEMBERSHIPS ARE COMING SOON!

As we prepare for our December 2026 opening, we'll be announcing special GRAND OPENING TRAINING MEMBERSHIPS for athletes and families who want to be part of this exciting new chapter.

We'll be sharing more information soon about our training programs, membership opportunities, and how to get started.

Make sure you're watching your email and following Sports U for updates.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM COACH FRED

I've spent a big part of my life coaching, developing, and helping young athletes believe in themselves.

And one thing I've learned is that when you give kids the right environment, great coaching, and a reason to believe in what they're capable of, incredible things can happen.

Greg, Chad, and I believe in what we're building.

We believe in our community, and we believe in the athletes who walk through our doors every day.

Our vision is to make Sports U a place where families know their kids are getting the training, guidance, and opportunities they need to keep getting better.

This new facility is another major step toward making that vision a reality.

To every family who has supported Sports U, trusted us with your kids, and believed in what we're doing, THANK YOU!

We're excited about what's ahead, and we can't wait for you to see what we've been working on.

DECEMBER 2026. A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS.

SPORTS U POWERED BY ATHLETES ACCELERATION!

THE WORK STARTS HERE. THE NEXT LEVEL STARTS NOW.

See you at Sports U!

Coach Fred

Stay tuned! Grand Opening Training Memberships will be announced soon!

One hard-hit ground ball...

You can almost see the wheels turning.

"Please catch it."

Sometimes they make the play. Sometimes they don't. That's baseball. But confidence comes from knowing you've put in the work before game day.

That's what our Fielding Clinic is all about.
We'll help players build solid fundamentals, improve their glove work, clean up their footwork, and make stronger, more accurate throws. More importantly, we'll help them believe in themselves when the ball is hit their way.

Whether your player is brand new or has been playing for years, we'll meet them where they are and help them keep getting better.

đź“… Starts August 5
🕕 Wednesdays | 6:00–7:00 PM
