What baseball lessons cost in Charleston
A private lesson here is $80 an hour. A half hour of hitting or catching is $45, two kids training together is $130 for 90 minutes, and the B.A.S.E. group class is $30 a session. Every price is on our pricing page, and you see the same number when you book. Every price is on the page.
Around the country, the listing sites put private baseball lessons somewhere between $50 and $75 for a half hour and $80 to $140 for an hour. So Charleston is reasonable, and we sit at the low end of that hourly range. Anywhere you go, the price depends on who is coaching, how long the session runs, and where it happens. A college kid throwing soft toss in a public cage costs less than a coach who has a plan for your kid. That's how it should be.
Packs lower the price per lesson. Our 4-pack is $275, which works out to $68.75 a lesson, and the 20-pack gets you to $56.25. Our packs are non-refundable, so start with four and find out whether your kid likes training. Buy one.
If your kid trains most weeks, stop paying per lesson. Four lessons in a month is $320. The Holy City Pros membership is $299 a month, includes those four lessons, and adds unlimited group classes on top. We lay that math out on the memberships page because that's who the membership is for.
There are also times you shouldn't pay anyone. If your kid is seven and having fun at rec ball, playing catch in the yard does more than a lesson. If the season is in full swing and he's getting live at-bats twice a week, a $25 cage rental for extra reps might be all he needs. Your kid has to want to be there. That part decides whether any of it works. We tell parents this even though it costs us money, because a kid who gets dragged to lessons quits baseball.
One more thing on price. A cheap lesson where the kid hits off a tee for an hour with no plan is the most expensive thing you can buy, because you'll pay for it again somewhere else. Ask any coach you're considering what the session actually looks like, minute by minute. If the answer is vague, keep looking. Ours starts with 25 minutes of movement and athletic work before the baseball, every time, and you can read exactly why on the lessons page.
