K’s Training Academy

K's Training Academy is a baseball and softball training facility founded in 2016 by Josh Kauten, located at 1707 E. Hamilton Rd Suite 1B in Bloomington, IL. The academy offers remote training, camps, strength and conditioning programs, and facility rentals to help athletes improve their skills from youth to professional levels.

Remote training allows athletes who cannot visit the facility in person to receive individualized programs developed by Coach Kauten. Athletes must email [email protected] to discuss pricing, which ranges from $30/month to $197/month depending on the specific needs of the athlete.

The academy uses TrackMan technology to measure full ball trajectory and spin metrics like Vertical Release Angle and Horizontal Movement. This data is combined with slow-motion video and traditional coaching to help pitchers design better pitches and organize their arsenals effectively.

Cancellations for individual appointments, including training and lessons, must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. If a cancellation is made less than 24 hours in advance, the full fee for the appointment will be charged.

The academy offers a one-time annual fee of $500 for non-members and $400 for members for college recruiting assistance. This service helps players understand the recruiting process, identify what coaches look for, and develop strategies to stand out in a crowded field.

Cage rentals and lessons may be credited and rescheduled for another time upon cancellation, but no refunds are given after payment has been received for any service. All services purchased in advance will expire one year from the purchase date.

The facility operates on varying peak and off-peak hours depending on the season, with peak hours running from November through February and mid-August through October. During peak hours, Monday through Thursday sessions run from 3 PM to 9 PM, while Friday sessions end at 7 PM.

The academy offers individual, team, and college membership options, as well as specialized programs like Winter Hitting Development and Summer Pitching Development. They also provide strength and agility recovery services for pro athletes and youth all-skills camps.

A returned check fee of $25.00 is charged for any reason, and a late payment fee of $25.00 applies if a payment is not received on or before the due date. Additionally, a $25.00 fee is charged every month until a past due balance is paid in full.

The academy has a conduct policy that allows them to dismiss parents or players permanently or temporarily for inappropriate language or behavior. No refunds will be given if a participant is dismissed from a lesson, camp, clinic, or program based on this policy.

The academy's history includes Coach Kauten being selected in the 2004 MLB Amateur draft by the Detroit Tigers in the 11th Round after playing at Illinois State University. He has since coached at Heartland CC and worked with hundreds of players who have moved on to D1 and professional levels.

The academy serves athletes ranging from youth to professionals, including those looking for strength and conditioning, pitching, and hitting development. They also cater to families seeking membership options and league information for HitTrax.
