Facility

The WLSA is ideal for your team's indoor winter training or for that individual or group that is looking for professional instruction to elevate their game. The 70'x75' full field turfed training area is perfect for infield and base running training or you can divide the field with our retractable netting into as many as five 70'x15' tunnels. We have Jugs and Iron Mike machines to practice your hitting as well as raised and flat pitching mounds. Each tunnel is equipped with tees, balls, and an L-Screen.
