Private Lessons
All Ages & Skill Levels
Individual or small group lessons with New York Empire's trained instructors, not just ex-ballplayers with anecdotes and rhetoric.
New York Empire's instructors use age- and skill-appropriate teaching methods and models that inspire players to work hard and develop their skills.
Our lessons are tailored to each player’s interests, age, and skill level, and all of our coaches teach the same material and methods—even with different personalities. Some coaches focus on individual skills, but we all teach the same techniques.
