Who It's For

Athletes Ages 8-12
Ready for Real Coaching

Your kid doesn't need to be the best player on the team to start here. They just need to be ready to learn. LabBuilt Minors is a structured 6-week introduction to hitting development — built for beginners and young athletes who want a real foundation.

No experience required. No tryout. Just a willingness to show up and compete. We handle the rest.

Everything Your Athlete Needs to Build a Foundation

Each session builds on the last. Your athlete develops proper hitting mechanics step by step — the same progression our advanced hitters started with.

Why The Lab

We Start Where It Actually Matters

Most young players get thrown into games and tournaments before they've built real skills. We do it differently.

Most kids ages 8-12 are playing games every weekend but never getting actual instruction on how to hit. They develop bad habits early — and those habits get harder to fix every year.

LabBuilt Minors starts where it matters: the fundamentals. Proper stance, load, swing path, and contact — taught step by step by coaches with high-level experience. We're not teaching theory. We're teaching what actually works, built into a system your athlete can grow with for years.

High-Level Staff

Our coaches have high-level playing and coaching experience. Attention to detail on every rep.

Real Curriculum

Not random cage work. A structured 6-week progression that builds skills the right way from day one.

Growth Path

After Minors, your athlete moves into In-Person Hitting ($275/mo) — weekly small group sessions with the same coaching staff and a real foundation already built.

Get Started

Give Your Athlete a Real Head Start

Six weeks of private coaching, a structured curriculum, and coaches who actually played the game. No commitment beyond the program — and when the 6 weeks are done, your athlete can step right into In-Person Hitting at $275/mo.
