LEARN THE STANDARD. BEGIN THE WORK. SEPARATE YOURSELF.

We don’t just run drills; we build ballplayers. At 1%er Academy, we operate on a hybrid model: Group Energy. Individual Focus. Our sessions are small-group intensives that provide the high-stakes competition of a team environment combined with the surgical mechanical adjustments of a private lesson. To ensure every rep is watched, we maintain strict quality control ratios:

• Pitching: 4:1 Player-to-Coach
• Hitting: 4:1 Player-to-Coach
• Defense: 6:1 Player-to-Coach

We assign coaches to specific age groups, but we place athletes based on skill level, not just a birth year on a calendar.

We do not believe in playing down. If an athlete is dominating their age group, we push them up. Complacency is the enemy of the 1%er. We want our athletes uncomfortable, challenged, and forced to elevate their game to survive.

Right Fit. Right Development. Conversely, if an athlete is new to the game, we don't throw them to the wolves. They start in a foundation group where they can master the basics, build genuine confidence, and earn their way into the high-intensity rotations.

At the end of the day, our mission is simple:

1. Your child gets the absolute most out of their development.
2. You get the absolute most out of every dollar you spend here.

No Contracts. No wasted reps. Just results.

Build HITTERS, not Cage Kings. We don't just hack off a machine. We focus on approach, pitch recognition, and real mechanics. Classes may include explosive med-ball and resistance training to sync the lower half with the swing. Learn to do damage in a game, not just off a machine in a controlled environment. You can always tell the kids who hit off machines all the time: they can't hit "slow pitching." They have great timing, but they struggle with reading the pitch. 

 Build the pitcher from the ground up. This isn't just throwing bullpens. We teach mechanics, mental adjustments, and recovery. We use plyos and med balls in some classes to master weight transfer and leverage. It doesn't matter how strong you are if you aren't flexible. 

Defense wins games. Infield, Outfield, and Catching work. We drill proper footwork, pre-pitch fundamentals, and elite glove work. And yes, we train reads and pop flys indoors—you don't have to hit a ball 50' in the air to see a kid doesn't know how to drop step. 

 Separation happens with speed. Everyone wants to hit and throw hard, but the best athletes are the ones who can MOVE. This is a fast-paced class designed for explosiveness and foot speed. Get lighter on your feet and faster on the basepaths. 

 Real strength that translates to the diamond. (Ages: 14u & Up) This is sport-specific weight training tailored to the time of year (Pre-season vs In-season). Build the armor you need to handle the grind of the season. 

Precision. Data. Accountability.

We believe our Group Training is the best way to develop competitors. But we understand that sometimes an athlete needs 1-on-1 attention to break down a specific mechanic or overhaul their approach.

Our Private Lessons are different.

• Not Just "Reps": We don't just throw batting practice for 30 minutes. We break down the mechanics with the athlete, identify the flaw, and build the correction.
• The Player Portfolio: Every lesson is tracked. We upload the player’s data and the coach’s notes directly into the 1%er Member App.
• Total Transparency: Parents and players can see exactly what was worked on, what the "homework" is, and track progress over time. No more asking "How did it go?" and getting a shrug. You see the work.

Development. Not Daycare.

Let’s be honest: Most youth sports camps are just glorified babysitting. They pack 50 kids on a field with two high schoolers and call it "training."

That is not how we operate.

• Low Coach-to-Player Ratios: Just because it’s a "camp" doesn't mean we sacrifice quality. We keep our numbers low so every camper gets eyes-on instruction.
• Fun with a Purpose: Yes, we want them to have fun. But every game we play is designed to hide a mechanical drill inside a competition. We trick them into working on their footwork, their glove-hand transfer, and their explosiveness while they think they're just playing a game.
• We Are Not Babysitters: We are here to develop and teach. If you are looking for a place to just drop your kid off to burn energy, there are plenty of trampoline parks in Austin. If you want them to leave a better ballplayer than they arrived, bring them here.

From Rec Ball to the Next Level.

We built our membership tiers because every athlete is on a different part of their journey. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach.

• The Foundation (Just Starting): For the Rec player or the athlete just falling in love with the game. We focus on building a rock-solid foundation, teaching the right mechanics early, and breaking bad habits before they stick.

• The College Chase (High School): For the athlete with a target on their back. If you are trying to get recruited, you need more than just "reps"—you need a roadmap. We provide the advanced instruction, the recruiting guidance, and the intense environment needed to prepare for the speed of the college game.

Your goals determine your path. We have a membership to match it.
