This is for Boys & Girls. Hitting and Defense is not gender specific and our Instructors do have experience working with girls at every level. Softball Pitching is unavailable at this time, but we are working on that right now.

If we did not meet all these standards, it would irresponsible to provide instruction at this time.
Please understand that even with these Scheduled Lessons, Big Easy Sportsplex is still Closed.
Access is only through Private Instruction and very strict SCREENINGS and New Protocols must be followed for entry into the building.
