NEW*** ********************************
Attention: I know many of you visit this website looking for updates... the main thing I keep updated is the schedule (see the pink column to the right) and the STORE page where the time charts are listed for lessons. While I still get numerous people who don't read things before emailing me (asking if i will be in a certain town anytime soon, asking which slots are open for lessons instead of looking at the time chart, etc). Anyway, there has been a long term plan in place to "re-do" the website but, we've yet to get that rolling. So, the only things kept updated are the upcoming clinics (to the right of this in pink) and the store page with time charts and schedules.

Bill's team, Chicago/NY Gremlins are co-champions of the ASA Men's Major National Championship played in South Bend IN. Rain washed out the championship final vs. Broken Bow NE Travelers. Both teams had 1 loss and were playing the "if" game of the championship when the skies opened cancelling the tournament and declaring co-champions. Next up for Bill's team is the ISC World Championship, where his team is currently ranked #2 then it's off to Denmark for the European Cup Championship. Season concludes over Labor Day weekend back here in the USA.

House of Pitching is pleased to announce that we now carry the
Power Push by Quinn's Unlimited.
If you've ever worked with Bill or heard his presentation, you know that he does not endorse many products, only 3 to be exact. This is one of them.
For those of us in colder climates that cannot practice outside year round, the Power Push can be an invaluable tool in correcting the bad habit of twisting the foot before push off when practicing on anything other than dirt. This tool promotes proper leg drive, helping your pitcher retain power and speed.
The Power Push is made of no break polypropylene, making it very light.
You can find and purchase the Power Push in our online store for $49.99 plus shipping, that's less than the cost of one pitching lesson!!!
