Sandlot Practice
Our two-hour practices are built for baseball and softball players looking to prepare for the upcoming spring season or continue their development throughout the year. We offer two distinct tracks—Advanced Practice for players ready for higher-level execution and competition, and Fundamental Practice for younger or developing athletes who need focused instruction and repetitions in the core skills of the game. Each session delivers high-rep instruction across key areas, including hitting, throwing, and defensive work, and every workout finishes with focused strength and conditioning.
We maintain a maximum 8:1 player-to-coach ratio to ensure every athlete receives meaningful feedback and quality reps. Training takes place in both our cages and on the open turf to simulate real game movements and reinforce proper mechanics.
Players are grouped by age and skill level, and each athlete is challenged appropriately within their track. Our coaching staff sets clear standards of effort, focus, and excellence—helping players build confidence, sharpen their fundamentals, or elevate their competitive edge.
If you’re looking to get game-ready and develop every part of your skill set, our practice programs provide the structure and intensity to move you forward.
Fundamental Practices
Fundamental Practices at The Sandlot San Diego are designed for baseball and softball players who are just beginning their journey in the game or who are still building a strong foundation. These two-hour sessions focus on mastering the core fundamentals—throwing, catching, hitting mechanics, footwork, and basic game awareness. Players receive detailed instruction, consistent repetitions, and clear coaching cues to build confidence and proper technique from the ground up. The environment is positive, structured, and development-focused, ensuring athletes learn how to practice with purpose. This program is ideal for younger players or those needing foundational refinement to set the stage for long-term growth and success in competition.
Advanced Practices
Advanced Practices at The Sandlot San Diego are designed for baseball and softball players who have moved beyond the basics and are ready for a higher level of challenge. These two-hour sessions focus on advanced technique, game-speed execution, and competitive situations that mirror real-game pressure. Players are pushed to make faster decisions, compete with intent, and sharpen the skills that separate good players from impact players. Open to athletes ages 10 and up, participants must pass a basic skills evaluation prior to joining. This program is an ideal way to elevate development and prepare for high-level competition.
