One8 believes that young players can learn to love the game through practice with their Families (Moms, Dads, Aunts and Uncles) among many more! Our parents and kids membership options prioritize the fun factor while fostering baseball/softball development.
MEMBERSHIPS FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
One8 Baseball & Softball for youth development is all about repetition in a fun and engaging platform. Coaches instructions include technical skills, relating game situations and ensuring each player gets quality reps with instructions that suit their skill level.
The coach focuses on the player’s attributes and utilizes our HitTrax simulator technology to provide feedback and enhance each session. Each group sessions allows a player to train their own skills while in a balanced development and social/competitive setting.
MEMBERSHIPS FOR COLLEGE STUDENT-ATHLETES & PRO’S
One8 training allows student-athletes and pro’s a space unrivalled. As we have combined high level technology and professional level turf to recreate game-like situations in a low-impact, injury avert setting.
Training with us here at the ITC can significantly increase a player’s skill level and can provide hundreds of repetitions in a controlled setting. The players will be able to receive live batting practice, cognitive processing situations that are required to sharpen and enhance their level. Elite level teams and athletes are able to use the ITC space during their pre-seasons and prior to game-days to sharpen and perfect their performance.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
One8 Baseball & Softball training combines a balance of live and augmented reality components allowing our coaches to be fully player focused. With a focus on individual technical skill repetition our coaches can be flexible to each players needs. Our coaches utilize our HitTrax simulator to allow data feedback in a very positive environment while pushing an athlete outside of their comfort zone to improve. Each of our coaches are relatable, motivating, and supporting through the whole training experience.

What can I do with a One8 Baseball or Softball Training membership?
One8 Sports Baseball & Softball Training Membership at the ITC is a balance between technology, skills & drills, position specific training, and positive coaching and motivation. High level athletes are not born, but they are made by their effort. We believe that in a positive environment, building confidence and developing well-rounded players through quality repetitions and game-like simulations can be achieved.
Our balanced and customized training, coupled with our coaching philosophy built from years of experience and learning, will assist in refining the players’ strengths and improving upon their weaknesses, allowing them to achieve their best. We also focus on empowering our players and freeing them to set and achieve personal goals.
In a typical 60-minute training session, athletes will be taken through skill specific skills and drills with an opportunity to learn from high level coaches in their chosen sport. Small group training allows for more detailed instruction and enhances the number of quality touches in an environment that recreates situations that occur in the game.
An hour long session will maximize training repetitions and when accompanied by one of our coaches, players will receive proper guidance that will assist in their personal development.

Sessions produce high quality situational repetitions and provide the game-speed and cognitive processing speeds that are required to sharpen and enhance skill sets during off-season and pre-season preparations periods.
