Real reps, real coaching, small groups. Run by Sam Petschel, a coach who grew up in Highland Little League and still coaches in it. Hitting, fielding, and pitching, taught with a focus on proper mechanics, never crammed together and never oversized, so every player actually gets better.

One focus per session. Pick one to see open times and register.
Quality reps. Better swings. Players rotate through tee work, soft toss and live hitting stations while receiving individualized coaching on mechanics, timing, bat path and approach.
Great defense starts with great fundamentals. Players work on footwork, glove work, throwing mechanics and live reads through fast-paced stations that translate directly to game situations.
Small-group instruction means more feedback and more throws with purpose. Every session focuses on efficient mechanics, arm care, command and building velocity the right way.
Built for first-year and newer players. Smaller groups, focused on the basics and keeping it fun.
An introduction to a good swing. Players work through tee and soft toss stations, building the basics of stance, balance and contact in a group small enough for real attention.
The building blocks of defense. Players learn glove position, ready stance, footwork and throwing basics through simple, fast-moving stations.
Highland born, Highland coached.
Coach Sam grew up playing Highland Baseball and now gives back to the program as a youth coach. Having developed through the same system he now teaches in, he understands what it takes to build strong fundamentals and help young athletes grow.
His training focuses on quality instruction over quantity. Through small-group sessions, players receive individualized coaching in hitting, fielding and pitching, with an emphasis on proper mechanics, confidence and game-ready skills. Every athlete gets the attention they need to improve.
Sessions are offered for players ages 8–13, split into two groups. Ages 10–13 train in dedicated hitting, fielding and pitching sessions. Ages 8–9 have their own separate sessions built for first-year and newer players, focused on the basics and keeping it fun.
It depends on the session. Hitting: bat, helmet and glove. Fielding: glove and cleats. Pitching: glove and cleats. Bring a water bottle to every session. Each session listing above notes what to bring.
Sessions run through light rain. If lightning is in the area before a session, it is canceled and you will be notified by text and phone call as early as possible. If lightning moves in during a session, players are brought off the field immediately and parents are called and texted to pick up. Canceled sessions can be rescheduled at no charge.
Yes. Sessions are built around fundamentals, and small groups mean instruction is tailored to each player's level.
No prior experience is required, though sessions are designed for players already playing at the 10–13 level.
Hitting and fielding are capped at 6 players. Pitching is capped at 3, so every pitcher gets close to private-lesson attention.
Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your session so another player can take the spot. Cancellations inside 24 hours cannot be rescheduled.
All sessions are held at Highland Ball Fields in Saint Paul. The exact field and address are included in your booking confirmation.
Join a small-group session and give your baseball player the reps, coaching and confidence they need to improve.
