The PCBS Players Academy serves our community with local, individualized, high quality training to improve the skill and confidence of our players. Whether you are hoping to improve long term skills, prepping for an upcoming tryout, or just knocking the rust off in preparation for the season, our instructors can help.  

NOTE: We are currently offering  ⚾️ BASEBALL & 🥎 SOFTBALL instruction.

A stand alone 30-minute lesson provides the perfect amount of time to provide swing adjustments, fielding techniques, or tweaks to throwing mechanics. The PCBS instructors can also make suggestions for tips and drills to continue the development at home or in the backyard.   The Players Academy also offers parents the option of creating a series of appointments to create a more comprehensive improvement plan. This plan results from the collaboration of the player, parent, and instructor. Together, they aim to identify a player’s strengths and weaknesses and develop a long term plan for growth.  The PCBS Players Academy is now accepting appointments for the winter and spring of 2023.  Players must be registered for house ball in the spring 2023 season to participate.  All Players Academy sessions take place on the West Shelf of the Palatine Community Center located at 250 E. Wood St. The cost for a 30 minute session is $40.00. Sessions can be for an individual player, or for small groups of up to 6 players at a time. Please see the links on the PCBS homepage for more information about appointment opportunities and our instructors and their specialties.   The Players Academy is recommended only for players that are in our competitive leagues (2nd grade - Pinto or D2 leagues and up).
