Position Summary

The Director of REPS Training & Baseball/Softball Development is responsible for leading, developing, and growing our athlete development business across baseball, softball, sports performance, and arm care.

At the center of this role is REPS , our membership-based athlete development program. The Director will own the quality, growth, and financial performance of REPS while also leading the growth of our broader baseball and softball training business, including camps, clinics, private lessons, sports performance, and arm care.

This is a hands-on leadership position combining program development, coaching leadership, athlete development, customer experience, community engagement, and business growth .

Success will be measured not only by the quality of our training and athlete experience, but also by participation, retention, revenue growth, coach development, and the overall financial performance of the training business.

About the REPS Program

REPS is our membership-based baseball and softball athlete development program designed to provide athletes with consistent, ongoing training rather than relying exclusively on individual lessons or occasional camps and clinics.

Members have access to a recurring schedule of instructor-led training opportunities focused on the core areas of player development, including:

• Hitting
• Pitching
• Fielding
• Sports performance
• Strength, speed, mobility, and movement
• Arm care and throwing development

The REPS model is built around frequency, repetition, quality instruction, and long-term athlete development . Rather than treating each training session as an isolated event, REPS should provide athletes with a structured development pathway that allows them to train consistently, build skills over time, and receive coaching within an integrated program.

REPS is also intended to serve as the foundation of our broader training ecosystem. Camps, clinics, private lessons, sports performance, and arm care should complement the membership program and provide athletes with multiple ways to engage with our coaches and continue their development.

Our goal is to build REPS into a differentiated athlete-development platform that delivers meaningful value to athletes and families while creating a strong recurring-revenue foundation for the business.
