As
a student or parent, are you looking for baseball
instruction that caters to the needs of each individual player instead
of a one-size-fits-all camp?
Founded
by former major league baseball player Mike
Kingery, Solid Foundation Baseball School provides
personal lessons and instruction throughout the year to baseball players
across Central and Southern Minnesota and the Twin Cities Metro Area,
as well as small group sessions in the winter, spring, and summer.
Attention
Parents/Coaches/Students!!
We
have acquired a state-of-the-art pitching machine called the Pro Batter!
The Pro Batter (www.probatter.com)
that we have is the only one in the state of Minnesota
that is available for public use (Professional PX2
baseball model)! The
Pro Batter will be located at our beautiful
new Coon Rapids location (Grand Slam Sports). It is a pitching
machine that will give you the most real life game practice possible!
The Pro Batter has a big video screen where you watch a Major League
pitcher throw to you, the batter. The machine throws fastballs from
40-90 mph. It also throws sliders, curveballs and changeups without
you having to go to the machine and make an adjustment. It is all run
by computer and it is a great training tool for hitters!
Coaches, this facility would be an awesome place to bring
your team! Call
for more details about using this amazing machine!

The
mission of Solid Foundation Baseball School is to train
and lead each student to reach their full potential as a baseball
player, an athlete, and a person.
SFBS
remains committed to a low student-to-teacher
ratio so that we can properly train each player in the correct
mechanics of hitting, throwing, pitching, infielding, outfielding,
catching, and baserunning - using lessons learned at the major league
level.
At
SFBS, we DO NOT use a cookie-cutter approach for teaching
our students. Through professional assessment and evaluation, each student
is given player-specific techniques so they will be able to, through
application, reach their highest potential.
SFBS
works hard to provide every student a chance to achieve their goals,
whatever they may be. SFBS also hosts tryout
camps with professional baseball scouts to help students who have
the desire and skill to play at the next level realize their dreams.
Solid
Foundation Baseball School, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Atwater,
MN native and former major league baseball player Mike
Kingery. Mike earned 17 years of professional baseball
experience as an outfielder with the Kansas City Royals, Seattle Mariners,
San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Solid
Foundation has at its roots the desire to encourage baseball
players in their quest to be the best they can be, both personally and
athletically. The key to our success
is the individual attention
we are able to provide to each student through our low student-to-teacher
ratio.

for one hour to work on whatever aspect of your game you choose. In
June, July, and August, Mike
Kingery and SFBS staff travel to various
locations across the state for one-week Summer Training Camps,
often sponsored by local baseball or community education and recreation
organizations.
