Introducing the “Summer Training” series! In baseball, teams have spring training, which is a time to practice fundamentals to prepare for the season ahead.
At Home Run Education, we want to utilize the summer to help your child improve upon their fundamentals to prepare for the upcoming school year.
In addition to 1:1 tutoring sessions, we are now offering small group classes! Small group classes are limited to 4 students per class to ensure your child gets the necessary attention to make effective progress.
Looking for something you don’t see? Reach out to us, and we’d be happy to discuss creating a class to suit your child’s needs!
