The efficient design and practical floor plan of the 20,000 square foot Diamond Dreams training facility allows us to accommodate multiple teams as well as private instruction simultaneously. We offer as many as nine hitting tunnels, eight pitching lanes, a pro-style bullpen, a 43' x 75' shell cage, a resistance training area. Diamond Dreams provides all tees, balls, protective screens and state-of-the-art equipment, including Jugs and Sports Tutor pitching machines and both baseball and softball video pitching simulators. Our goal is for our customers to get the maximum use of our facility.

In fact, as DDSA's aesthetics recall the game’s history and serve to inspire new generations of athletes, its thoughtful design has transformed an old warehouse into a must-see destination. In addition, our 48' Upper Deck allows parents and visitors to get a birds-eye view of the action. The Dugout Lounge features ballpark seats from Camden Yards, a dugout for kids, a cell-phone charging bar and a view of the training field.

Our instructors are dedicated.
The dedication of the professional instructors at Diamond Dreams sets us apart. In fact, our in-house and numerous guest instructors combine playing, coaching and training experience totaling well over 100 years. Each has either played, coached or taught the game at a high level. Each of our instructors also possesses a love of the game and becomes vested in the success of their students. Each endorses our mission and cherishes the opportunity to help parents instill strong values and to instruct the young men and women of our communities in the game they love.
Our story began with a dream.
Diamond Dreams is a tribute to my dad who passed away when I was just 16. My best memories are of playing catch with him in our driveway. Like me, my dad lost his father at a young age. As a result, baseball became more than a sport to him; it became a way to escape the harsh realities of growing up in poverty. In fact, back when every little boy wanted to grow up to be a big leaguer, my dad had a dream - a diamond dream - of playing professional baseball. That dream ended somewhere in the Midwest when he collided with a fence while chasing down a fly ball. The injury led him back home, and eventually, to playing catch with me in our driveway. So for my dad, and for all the dads and moms who create lasting memories with their sons and daughters just by playing catch... welcome to Diamond Dreams. I think you will find it to be a very special place. Randy McGill, Owner
