Northbrook Baseball Review

Great operation. My kids have had both softball and baseball instruction here. The coaches know their stuff and connect well with the kids.

We ve been members at the dugout since it opened three years ago. The place is clean and has plenty of space. We ve also had several teams rent space there to do winter training. Both my kids a 15 and 11 year old play competive A division baseball so they have to fine tune their skills all the time. We also do group and private hitting lessons with Anthony who is one of the main instructors at the Dugout. Let me point out that Anthony is a high level hitting coach that will take your kid to the next level! He knows how to come across where you player will make small improvements that will have a major impact. Besides the knowledge he brings to the table Anthony has the availability of the latest technolgy around. The owner at the dugout has spared no expense to make sure they re the leaders when it comes to taking baseball to the next level. When my boys gets group and private lessons with Anthony the hittrax system is always on...Anthony doesn t really care about that part but still fun for the kids. They also use some type of software (not sure of the vendors name) that after recording the boys swing he takes them into a room and shows them a break down of the swing. He even puts their swing next to a MLB player to show them the correct way to hit. He plays the recording in slow motion and points out every detail that needs to be improved and puts up a multi screen with your kid and the MLB player. On top of that he keeps an excel spreadsheet with your players progress and sets goals for them. Just as an example my younger kid just recently increased his bat exit volcity by 5 to 7 mph within 3 weeks and has been hitting the ball 30!feet further. Hope this helps you understand the approach that this man makes like no other. Good luck!

Everything I could ask for to make the best baseball players out there!

Great operation! The instructors are patient and know what they are talking about. They are so good with the kids that my kids love getting lessons in the group and the private setting. We could not be happier with Anthony, Mike, and Matt. Definitely recommend The Dugout.

I was taking my son over there for karate class, it was worst experience, the karate coach before we start the class she was nice and kind, after we made the one payment for 3 season which is for almost 3 months, she shows another face, she is mixing all levels in one class, she more screaming that working, easy to see kids crying in her class, she was pushing me and my husband to take class too or to do privet class for my son, she was Kicking my son 30 minutes before the class finish, when I text her that I m thinking to stop the class for my son, she didn t care or asked about the reason to stop the class, she was worried about no refund for the rest of the class, than went there to talk to her she was very rude.
I don t recommend you to take karate class with that lady, because you will pay to take stress

Extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Amazing job with hitting lessons. Anthony is the absolute best.

First class operation. Great baseball instructors!

The karate class over there is very bad, the lady coach she is very very racist and aggressive with the kids . I don t like the way how she talks with them or how she teaches them . If you thinking to take your kids guys over there you re gonna waste your money and time .

Really I recomend for you to go to thw dougout. Also they have experienced pro's that played MLB or college, so rhey know what they are talking aboutm
