Off Season Academy 2024 - 2025
We're excited to share that Big Fish plans to open its own space in October of 2024!
This will allow us to expand our winter offerings with more flexibility for our local multi-sport athletes. We will run 6-week training sessions like 2023-24, but athletes have the ability to choose from a few different times each week to come in to the facility and work with our coaches. We're really looking forward to continuing to support our baseball and softball athletes!

FAQs
Questions? Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] or contact Program Coordinator Josh Eidem at 651-335-0030. We'll add to this section as questions come in!
What time will the sessions be offered?
We are planning for 6pm/7pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday evenings, and 8am/9am on Saturday mornings. This is not set in stone because we may make adjustments based on the availability of our athletes.
What does a session generally look like?
Sessions are 50-55 minutes - groups of 6 - 12 kids in the facility at one time, 2 coaches. 20-25 minutes of hitting, 20-25 minutes of defensive glove work, ground balls, and core strength.
Is there pitching specific work for baseball and softball players?
We are working on some options for this - please stay tuned.
Will softball players and baseball players be scheduled together?
This is based on final enrollment, but we plan to offer some labeled "softball only" groups of 6. So there could be 6 baseball players working in the cage, and then 6 softball players doing glovework... then rotating. The skills are the same but we know from last winter this is something the kids have preferred. But our softball players will always have the option of working alongside the baseball players if schedule and availability (and siblings coming at the same time) is the need.
