What equipment does a player need to bring to a mobile lesson with Coach Caleb?
Players should always bring their own baseball glove, as well as any personal gear they love using, like their own bat, helmet, or batting gloves. Coach Caleb believes a player’s relationship with their glove is incredibly personal, almost like a pet, and breaking in and caring for your own leather is a huge part of loving the game.
However, if you are a total beginner or don’t have your own equipment yet, don't worry! Coach Caleb always travels with a full setup of high-end training basics, including extra bats, training balls, and a backup glove. He is more than happy to let beginners test out his loaner gear during their first sessions before giving you a personalized recommendation on the exact size, brand, and model of glove or bat to buy for your age and skill level.

What is your weather policy for outdoor mobile baseball lessons?
We closely monitor local conditions to ensure a safe, high-quality training environment, and we will happily reschedule your session if hazardous weather arises. While we always try our best to run our 1-on-1 lessons outside in great baseball weather, your player's safety is our top priority. If a session faces a threat of lightning, intense rain that makes bats and balls too slippery to grip, or muddy fields that could cause a dangerous ankle sprain, we will contact you to reschedule for a clear day.
Alternatively, if you prefer not to wait for a reschedule, we are always happy to pivot the lesson to an indoor sports facility or a sheltered local batting cage space. Coach Caleb is highly adaptable and will work with you to make sure your player never misses out on their development due to a passing Bay Area storm.

Booking a mobile lesson is simple! To get started, just fill out the short contact form on our website. Once you submit your request, Caleb will receive an instant notification and will reach out to you directly using your preferred communication method—whether that is a text message, a phone call, or an email.
From there, you will have a one-on-one consultation with Caleb to map out your exact training plan. Because every single session is 100% customized, Caleb will take the time to learn about your specific needs, including:
-
Who the player is: We train everyone! Whether the lesson is for you, your child, your grandchild, a relative, or a friend.
-
Health & Safety: Caleb will ask about any past or current injuries, medical conditions, or neurodivergent/special needs (such as autism) so he can perfectly adapt his coaching style, pace, and environment to ensure your player feels safe, comfortable, and successful.
-
Area of Focus: We will narrow down exactly what you want to achieve, whether it is a gentle introduction to the basics of baseball, specialized hitting work, or advanced pitching sessions (like learning grips, spin efficiency, and arm care).
Once we establish your goals and coordinate a location, Caleb will lock in your date and time slot!
