League Play
Our 8U-14U teams will play in a
weekday league that will average between 12-15 league games. Teams will be
placed with the appropriate level of competition.
15U+ will not participate in a league. They will focus on practicing during
the week and preparing for tournament play.
Tournament Play
8U-12U teams will play between 5-10 tournaments depending on their age level
and team level (see pricing grid above). We intend to have a destination
tournament at each level that is included. For example, a tournament in
Mauston for the younger ages.
We believe that Cooperstown is an awesome experience for our kids. We plan to
send our 12U teams there annually. That said, there is a fundraising
commitment in addition to the fees outlined in the attached pricing grid.
The 13U-18U teams will play between 5-10 tournaments depending on their age
level and team level (Cardinal or White). For our older teams, we will put our
teams in the appropriate exposure tournaments and work to ensure we are
showcasing the talents of our high school players.

Facilities & Equipment
The rock sports complex
The Rock is the exclusive home to Prospect Training Academy and one of the
most significant differentiators amongst our competition. The Rock’s elite
baseball facilities include 4 fullsize fields and 2 youth-sized fields and all
major league replica fields, which are surfaced with synthetic turf infield
and 3-D Ultra Sod and root mix, which is the same product used by the majority
of MLB stadiums across the nation.
This high-tech
playing surface has been designed to accurately mimic the bounce of the ball
off of real dirt and grass, and will allow fields to be playable immediately
after rain. The complex has 4 outdoor batting cages and each field is equipped
with 2 bullpens. Other state-of-the-art features include fully digital
scoreboards and field lighting by sports lighting industry leader Qualite.
Indoor Facilities
The MOSH Performance Center is our new, state of the art indoor training
facility. We have 1 full size infield, 12 cages, 78,000 ft² of space available
for training, and access to Watts & Diesel on site.
We’re also retaining our current training facility at 6758 S 13th Street in
Oak Creek, WI. This 15,000 ft² training facility includes 6 batting cages and
a youth infield.
Recplex
The RecPlex is the largest municipal recreation facility in America, located
on the shores of Lake Andrea in Prairie Springs Park, Pleasant Prairie. We
