I go here almost everyday and it’s great! I get the work done and i get to practice. The only thing is that the softball pitching machine does not work which is not good because i like to use the machine but overall i love bash and i will continue to come here!

We have been going to Bash for several years, first with our son's travel team and then working on our own with the Elite instructors. We also take advantage of our membership so our son gets hitting reps in by reserving cage time regularly. The Elite instructors are terrific and great with the kids. Lots of options for private, semi-private and group lessons, as well as summer and vacation training camps. The customer service at the facility is also great and Lakeview location is very convenient.

Always a good experience practicing at BASH. Jim and his staff are easy going but make sure your cage is available when your time comes. Clinics for kids are always good in the winter, especially the softball ones which my daughter has used to get ready for the season. Highly recommended.

I can't say enough great things about Bash! It truly feels like a family. My son has been going for a few years now and has participated in various offerings from private and group lessons, one off workshops to his favorite...summer camp! We map out his summer activities around Bash's camps because he loves it so much. He loves going to camp and enjoys that he can just play baseball without the worry of being the best, or the stress of being competitive. It's a supportive environment from all the great coaches that keep the kids engaged to the campers who attend and cheer each other on, it truly is an environment where kids can just lean in to the joy of the game.
