"I would like to take a moment to thank everyone at your facility for the outstanding improvement my son has shown in his batting ability due to your individual lessons. After only 6 lessons from Jesse Braverman and Norm Hayner I have seen a noticeable improvement in his power, consistency, technical skill, and most important, his confidence. He has had several coaches in the 7 years he has been playing and I have taught him everything I thought I knew, realizing now, I should have trusted in a professional coach long ago. I have been so impressed with his improvement that I have signed him up for an additional 6 lessons."

Academy Pitching Instructor and Atlanta Braves scout John Stewart is available for lessons from November 1 - January 30.

"I wanted to thank Norm and everyone at the Hayner Sports Barn for helping my son, Brian, to become a better baseball player. He had been hitting the balls 10-15% of the time during his games - but after Norm gave him instruction - he started hitting the balls 90% of the time. We noticed a huge difference in his batting ability even after the first lesson. Brian was moved up the batting lineup a little after each lesson - from the 12th up to 4th in line. A lot of joy comes to a parent seeing their child smile with confidence as he walks up to the batter’s box! Brian was even chosen to be on an All-Star team by the coach after he watched Brian play at a few games!!"
