Our son has taken lessons from Ninth Inning's coaches for several years and has made tremendous gains as a player. He is now into his second season with the NI Royals and continues to grow at the game. The NI facility is first rate and the coaches are all about his development.
We are new to the organization and have found the experience to be overwhelming positive so far. They are extreamlly organized and offer numerous opportunities for development.
This is my fifth year with my oldest son and 1st with my youngest!!! We have been super happy! Great option to have close to the perimeter. All coaches have been great and super knowledgeable. Competition in tournaments is always great! We have taken private lessons from many of the coaches and all are top notch! I highly recommend!
Great instruction! My son looks forward to the sessions and has noticeably improved.
We have been taking lessons at Ninth Inning for 7 years and my son has played with the NI Royals for 5 seasons. The baseball and the softball coaches are great, the facilities are best in class, and the level of instruction is the best in the city.
The coaching staff is devoted to teaching. Our son has experienced positive, professional instruction at all times and has been encouraged to work hard to develop his skills. He loves the environment at Ninth Inning.
BUYER BEWARE!! Their membership contracts are sneaky - make sure you read it thoroughly. They will tell you different things to get you to sign up, but the contract will say differently, continuously charge you, and YOU WONT GET YOUR MONEY BACK!! Managers are arrogant and condescending. GO TO D-BATS - better customer service!
This is our first year at Ninth Inning and we are already impressed. The facility is truly top notch. The instructors and staff are extremely knowledgeable and give players a personal touch. We have participated in the private lessons, one-on-one and clinics. You can just tell by watching the coaches that they have a real love for the game and are fully invested in each player s overall development and success. Great choice!!
New to the team, but so far so good. Lots of personal instruction opportunities and well organized. Love knowing our ball s heduke so far in advance. No complaints so far.
Ninth Inning has provided a great program through our years of development; nice coaches too.
Great coaches and facilities. I highly recommend N.I. to kids of all ages and skill levels.
An AWESOME and WELL organized facility!!! The Staff and Coaches are always friendly. As a newcomer were always feeling warm and welcome.
Place smells like sweat everywhere. They have great coaches, and good assistance for the kids that are training. Waiting area is spacious, but nothing to do on it.
Do not go to the grave saying Woulda Shoulda Coulda. Get your kid the best training. Take him to Ninth Inning in Chamblee. Heath and the boys are the best at their game. Most professional youth preparation facility I have ever been to.
Great facility, great coaches. My daughter (6 yrs old) receives batting lessons for softball. Coach Ashley is so fun and my daughter has learned so much!
It has been an outstanding experience for us and we are so pleased that our son was given the opportunity to work with these guys. Hands down the best program in the ATL.
What else can I say but professionalism, professionalism, professionalism! The coaching staff goes above and beyond to exceed everyone s expectations. My son loves playing for this organization!
Best baseball facility in the south. Great staff, extremely experienced coaching, state of the art indoor facility, and great practice fields.
I have kids who have participated in the baseball and softball programs for the last 4 years. Great facility and great programs...but, most importantly, Ninth Inning Baseball and Seventh Inning Softball have great coaches who are truly invested in the players and their development.
Second year our son is in Royals travel program, and can't say enough about the positive experience coming from rec ball to 10u travel and 11u travel. Coaches are top notch, and the clinics they hold bi monthly are part of your membership on Royals travel team along with some free baseball lessons and free use of batting cages when not in use.
All the instructors are great, personable and knowledgeable We've done group lessons and private lessons. SO useful for his baseball development.
Very knowledgeable, great staff, and awesome mentors. I recommend this facility if you need great baseball instruction.
This is the second year that my son plays at NI Royals team. We very satisfied what they offered last year. We had great coaches, who have solid baseball skills and experience. They really care their players and know how to develop individual as well as lead the team. I can see my son's improvement not only on baseball skills, but also on better baseball IQ and stronger mental toughness. These help him to gain more confidence and play better.
NI has two facilities, main facility and team facility. In the main facility, they have seven cages and different pitching machines as well as HITTRAX. The facility is clean and organized. In the team facility, there are two cages and many training equipment. I usually rent a cage two or three times a week for my son to do some hitting and pitching drills. Because my son is in the Royals program, we can free to rent the cage half hour everyday. This is really good.
I personal think that the cost of the NI Royals travel ball program is reasonable. Although NI's Royal program package costs several more hundred dollars than some other local travel ball programs in Atlanta, the package indeed offers more. First, as I mentioned, NI has their own indoor and small outdoor facilities. Your player doesn't lose a team training if it is raining. Second. your player gets a half hour free cage to use everyday. Third, they offer five free lessons for your player. Fourth, they offer twelve position clinics to help your player to gain extra practices on hitting and fielding. If you use most of what they offer like me, you will feel that the cost of NI's Royal program is reasonable.
Finally, all the coaches in the NI facilities are trained and very friendly. They will still watch your player while he/she is doing practice in the cage and give him/her advice if needs, even though your player is not taking lesson from them.
My son had a very positive experience with NI last year. We are looking forward to have another great season this year.
My 13u has been taking lessons for a number of years and now is a member. We have been very satisfied with the coaching, teaching, training and facilities that NI offers.
My son receives great quality instruction from all coaches who strive for excellence in skills and character on and off the field!
Great EXPERIENCED coaching staff and training! We love the program. Worth the investment!

We've been going to Ninth Inning for our 2 boys for 7+ years.
The facility is fantastic and everyone is very professional. The instructors are great and have really made my boys better baseball players. Justin has been helping my oldest learn to pitch at a higher level and he made his JV team because of it this year. I highly recommend Ninth Inning to anyone who wants their kids to learn to be a better baseball player along with being better teammates.
Nice facilities. don't sign up for a monthly membership, though. We tried to cancel 3 separate before we finally got a manager to cancel after months of being charged. He could've cared less about making it right. Lessons are hit or miss. Some private coaches are good. Others are not.
first class organization. Good balance between getting kids the instruction they need and winning ball games. Not playing only the best players to win.
It's probably 3.5 out of 5. Baseball accolades from various age group are proudly displayed in lobby. Staff, trainers and coaches are very knowledgeable and very skilled. On the other hand, softball program however has being very disappointing.
Ninth Inning has top notch facilities, a collaborative culture with highly motivated and detail-oriented instructors. Their mission is to develop your son or daughter into a stronger ballplayer. You will absolutely see the difference. Highly recommended!
Great coaches and staff. They really focus on the development of the players.
We have been a member for a couple of years. Started using Kristi for hitting lessons for my 10u travel softball player about 6 months ago. Game changer for her swing. She has started hitting lead off with power.
After having spent one year in another Atlanta area travel program and taken lessons at one of the franchise baseball instructional schools for several years, we could not be any happier with our decision to come to NI. We are now in our 2nd years with the NI Royals program. The team coaches and individual instruction are unmatched in their knowledge and professionalism. From our very first experience at a tryout we were impressed at how professional they were. In the summer of 2017, we were on the 3rd tryout of the summer with more scheduled. Nearing the end of the 2 day tryout, my son felt a little pain in his elbow. They immediately pulled him out of throwing drills. They were able to tell me that they had noted on his chart that he tended to drop his elbow especially when he got a little tired. They promised to help him correct his mechanics and they did. After a year in the NI Royals Program, my son's throwing mechanics are completely unrecognizable. His swing and performance at the plate is off the charts. We are completely thrilled with our decision. I remember walking off the field after that initial tryout and my son saying, "I want to play HERE."
My 8 year old daughter is now taking softball lessons. Even playing up at 10U she is the #1 pitcher on her team and among the best hitters and fielders in our rec league. We look forward to her playing softball with the 7th Inning Lady Royals in the future.
My son has taken lessons from several instructors and at one of the franchise baseball instructional facilities. We appreciated what we learned along the way, but NI is the total package. There is not a finer baseball/softball instructional organization in Atlanta. PERIOD.
Member of the travel team, going on 2nd year. Ninth Inning has been a very good club to advance our child in baseball. Encouraging coaches and trainers.
We've been a part of Ninth Inning for two seasons...the facility is first rate and makes it easy for my son to get the extra swings that he needs. The coaches care about his development and constantly communicate and work with him on ways to improve.
Great coaches who teach the fundamentals of the game really well while still being competitive. Very organized business operations with good parent communication. :)
If your looking for age appropriate development of your kid- look no further. The coaches look out for your kids development by not over pitching, teaching arm care, offering strength and agility to prevent injuries, and coaching your kid for the next level of play. I feel confident as my own son grows within the program he will be ready for the next level of competition as he grows older. You feel like you are part of a family with NI, and finding that in today's travel ball world for kids is hard. Competition -check, high baseball IQ- check, care for your kid as a person and player - check. The Royal way is the right way:)
Best Baseball and Softball experience with your own personal trainer,
Fifth year in the program and love it, especially the free cage rentals!
Great staff of coaches/mentors who make player development the primary focus of the program. We're new to the NI organization, but have been extremely pleased with the hard work and effort we've seen so far!
My son loves this place. They have really helped him with his throwing and catching and hitting. We will definitely be back.
Friendly knowledgeable Coaches who take pride in helping players achieve their goals and true potential
Coaching with individual attention. Focus on foundation skills that will help our son grow as a player and a person. We went to Cooperstown, NY last summer with a team and loved the experience!
My son and daughter have both been going to lessons for more than a year, and love it!!
i have brought my son in numerous times and have been lucky to meet Josie when I walked in. She was very kind, went out of her way to help me, and was very knowledgeable about the services they offer.
Great place for youth to gain knowledge and fundamentals of the games of softball and baseball. Instructors are very knowledgeable of the games and very "customer service" oriented, professional, and consistent with each and every youth they seem to come in contact with.
Very nice plays to learn baseball. I thimk they have 8 or 9 cages . The only bad thing about this place is the location.
My son Liam has been a part of the Royals 13u program for the past couple of months and we couldn t be happier with our decision. Coach Blaine Smith and the rest of the staff are committed toward developing each player while emphasizing a winning team environment. Looking forward to seeing his development over time!
The instructors at Ninth Inning are fantastic. The staff have worked with my son for the past 2 years now, and his skills and self-confidence have grown tremendously under their instruction. Half hour lessons are the way to go, and very reasonably priced, especially considering the level of expertise and experience provided. I highly recommend Ninth Inning Baseball.
Excellent instructors, particularly Eduardo Torres & Vic. Radcliff. Only participated for one year, but an overall positive experience. Highly unlikely that we would rejoin a travel team, but open to returning for individual instruction.
Had some issues and asked for a meeting to resolve them, both via (several) E-mail, text & phone messages, to no avail. Owner s name is Heath Honeycutt & second-in-command is GM Justin Edwards.
World class instructors and facilities. Originally was just going to bring my younger son to be apart of the program, but was so impressed I decided to have my older son be apart of the program as well. During practice all coaches are involved with the kids even if they are working with their own team...my son had a coach from one of the older teams come over and give him a tip on his swing during our session even though he was running his own practice.
9th Inning got it Right!
