As baseball and softball instructors having spent many years playing,
    coaching, and teaching in this great game, we understand first-hand how
    challenging these skills can be to master.  With that said, we believe that
    baseball and softball are games played first and foremost for enjoyment.  Deeply
    embedded in the local baseball community, to the extent we not only teach, but
    coach at the high school & college level. Also, Coach Mikenas is a member of
    the 8-time Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Champion - Minnetonka Millers.  

    Accordingly, students are provided ample opportunity to learn and develop their
    talents and skills in a controlled environment designed to be positive,
    constructive, and encouraging.  Nurturing this growth requires patience... we
    believe in focused effort and hard work, while the student is actively engaged in
    the learning process.   

    The reality is very few kids will play collegiately and even fewer will make it to
    the big leagues. However, having a solid work ethic, ability to make
    adjustments, learning to fail productively, mental toughness and becoming a
    student of the game are all qualities that will take a player as far as their
    abilities will allow.  But more importantly, these habits will allow students to
    make it in the real big leagues – life.
