Baseball and Softball Academy Grand Opening

 Walker Athletics is pleased to announce Opening Day of The Baseball/Softball Academy on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 from 5-8pm.  Free Cage Use and Cage Time Raffle will be offered.  Join Our Special Guests:  Coach Mike Hubie, DuPage County Hounds and Sports Authority in welcoming this new opportunity for youth athletes in DuPage County.

The Baseball/Softball Academy @ Walker Athletics includes 5 Batting Cages that allow hitters to get the full experience of longer distances including youth ranges between 40’-54’ and Jr Hack Attack Pitching Machines.  Hit against fastballs, curves, sliders, split fingers & knuckle balls.  Hack Attack machines are designed to eliminate the delays caused by pivoting the throwing head when changing pitches.  You can instantly dial in great curves over 70 mph, sharp sliders over 80 mph and fastballs over 90 mph.  And they convert from baseball to softball.

The Academy also offers Individual & Group Pricing, Individual & Group Instruction, Camps, Batting Leagues, Pitching Leagues, Running Bases, Team Meeting Rooms and our own VIP Baseball/Softball Party Room.

A special thank you to Net World Baseball for supplying Cage Netting and Sports Authority for supplying equipment.
