HIT! Indoor Training Center has indoor and outdoor batting cages, including indoor cages designed to accommodate full-length throwing distance with pitching machines and state-of-the-art pitching simulators that throw pitches from 35 MPH up to 100 MPH and display a real pitcher synchronized with the ball delivery. Outdoor turf-lined cages provide screens but do not have machines available for use, and there is a large outdoor practice space for multi-sport or field use, as well as workout facilities, gym equipment, and a party room for food and cake. The program is open Monday through Friday from 11:00am to 9:00pm (until 7:00pm on Friday) and Saturday–Sunday from 10:00am to 7:00pm.
Lessons are given by instructors well versed in baseball and softball technique, including founder Tim Heckler, who is a former board member at Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association and has played multiple sports as a teen and in high school, with 15+ years playing competitive soccer and 5+ years playing Men’s Division A softball. Other instructors include Chris Gonzalez, who played college baseball at Texas Lutheran University and has been a pitching instructor for select teams in the Houston/Woodlands area for 12 years and TSB head coach for 6 years; Stephen Nikonchik, who pitched for Katy Taylor and Houston Baptist University and later for multiple professional teams; Gunner Thompson, who played at Panola College and has a degree in kinesiology; Jeremy Matlock, a former high school varsity catcher and captain pursuing a sports management degree at the University of Houston; Samuel Flores, who played at East Texas Baptist University and is pursuing a Masters in Sociology at the University of Houston; Luke Wozny, a dual-sport athlete at Benedictine College who works full-time for a local Houston nonprofit organization; and Cole Schroeder, who played high school and college baseball and served as a two-year team captain. The leadership team lists Tim H. / Tim Heckler as Founder and Owner of HIT! Indoor Training Center.
The mission states that the core services are designed to benefit youth athletes in the Spring Branch-Memorial community ages 6–18. HIT! Indoor Training Center provides indoor space for sports training and practice and youth sport camps to the Spring Branch-Memorial community, and Chris Gonzalez operates the TSB – Spring Branch, which has acquired the HIT! Squad teams. Membership includes discounts on cage time, lessons, camps, equipment, and apparel, access to virtual pitching pro batter machines, and a monthly Astros Ticket Raffle for members, and the center notes that it does not host team practice of more than 6 attendees inside and that parents use workout facilities and personal trainers during the day or while kids practice.
One testimonial describes a parent explaining that they pay for sports training so their kids can experience things like being disciplined, focused, and dedicated, learning to work with others, dealing with disappointment, making and accomplishing goals, respecting themselves and others, and spending time on the field instead of in front of a screen, and concludes that it is a great investment based on what they have seen so far.
