We continuously update our website with the latest information about our program.

But a great place to start learning about our program is our recent 2021 / 2022 program presentation (via Zoom):
Note: In the presentation, there is mention of Tryouts on June 6, but since the presentation, we have decided to move to a personalized tryout approach where you can sign up for a tryout slot at your convenience.
​Through the use of technology, best industry knowledge, and attention to detail, we are seeing unprecedented growth in our program.

Program

First and foremost, we are a baseball program that is constantly learning, growing and innovating on behalf of our players and families. The Hawks founder, Mark Strauch, spends endless hours each week to better the club and bring the best information in baseball training to the club and our coaches.

Here are just a few examples of how we differentiate ourselves as a program:
  • Technology / Measurable Progress - We measure and quantity your player's progress through industry leading swing sensors (Blast Baseball) and tracking of other key baseball metrics like throwing velocity and running speed. We are a Top 10 organization (Nationally) with our usage of Blast Baseball.
  • Operations / Certifications - Through operations typically only seen in college-level programs, we implement and optimize our practice plans and development strategies based on the best industry information (Driveline and USA Baseball certifications).
  • Family - With the Hawks, you are joining a big baseball family, where you have access to your coaches and the club founder. We look for a good fit with the family and the player, as we work hard to eliminate the drama that is common in other travel baseball organizations.
  • Flexibility - We work with families on a variety of things to optimize the Hawks Baseball experience for them, which could range from a multi-sports or multi-activity athlete, a player injury, or in some cases, unforeseen personal circumstances. We always strive to do what is right and fair.
  • Industry Best Training Tools - Every year, we invest thousands of dollars in training tools, including pitching machines, Driveline balls, Jaeger Sports J-Bands, and more.

Tournaments
  • Tournament Costs are additional, and are divided among the players participating, based on the number of games played by each player.
  • Tournament fees include the tournament entry fee and the expenses for each coach. For full time coaches that have a player on the competing team, they do not pay tournament dues and are not part of the calculation --- our quality dad coaches do end up saving families money as one player's tournament dues is always less than paying for a paid coach.
  • There are NO additional admin fees added to the cost per family. Organizing for tournaments is a lot of work, but we recognize that there are savings associated with not having a local team event and that extra time can be invested into tournament preparation process.
  • Tournament dues are billed / invoiced upon the conclusion of the tournament, typically within 24 hours. Some travel tournaments may require an initial deposit to support the up front costs associated with the tournament entry fee.

Additional Notes
  • Events per week is determined by each team taking age / skill level / season into consideration. If your player cannot fully participate due to other sports / activities, please discuss with the club founder so we can ensure you are getting the extra training opportunities included.
  • Specialization Training (i.e., catching clinics) - Many additional training opportunities are offered by the club, including specialization training, clinics, private lessons and camps, and are optional / pay per event.

​Scholarship Opportunities

Overall, we have created a pricing model that is competitive with other travel baseball organizations, but also understand that next level baseball training is not inexpensive. If costs are a factor in your decision, please have a discussion with the club founder and let's see what we can figure out, together.
