"Jason Little has a gift. My son, Niko, plays high school baseball and my daughter, Lindsey, plays high school softball. They are both exceptional power-hitters and have been coached by Jason for the last six years. When we are working out actively with Jason, say twice a week, their game day batting average is .300 points higher than when they are not. This is proven fact for me. My kids invest a huge number of hours just to play ball. Why not invest, literally only a couple extra hours a week to prepare themselves and put them in a position to succeed – if not dominate. Jason’s knowledge of the swing and ability to diagnose and make minor adjustments for my kids is amazing. They always walk out of a lesson with more confidence than when they came in and it pays off on game day. As a father, it sure is fun to see your kids hit doubles in the gap, priceless in fact. Not sure what we’d do without Jason, he is a magician with my kids’ swings!"

"My daughter has been taking hitting lessons with Coach Jason for the past 2 years. He was able to immediately identify the issues with her swing, customize lesson plans to break the bad habits, and build her swing into a consistent line drive approach. If all you are looking for are full pitches and swings, you are better off spending your money in a cage with a pitching machine. If you want your daughter to build her swing from the ground up and grow her confidence for the game and beyond, spend your time with Coach Jason."
Thanks, Chuck Gaetano
“It has been wonderful watching our daughter grow and excel after beginning lessons with Jason. His passion and dedication towards ensuring she is successful has been simply amazing. I can’t think of anyone else we would rather work with!”
Sincerely, The Henry Family
“My 11-year old daughter has been playing softball year round since she was 8. Her swing was basically all arms and she wasn’t using her full athletic potential. She started playing Travel ball and even though her fielding was terrific her swing was still lagging. So, we started private lessons with Jason Little. He completely retooled her swing from the ground up. She’s now crushing the ball and her confidence at the plate is soaring. Jason’s methodology on the swing is the ideal fundamentals. I would suggest lessons with Jason for anyone looking to give their kid the best advantage at the plate."

"My daughter has received consistent excellent batting instruction from Jason for close to three years now. She is now playing A level ball and the best part of her game is her batting skills. I can’t recommend or thank Jason enough for all he has done to invest his time and passion for softball he’s passed on to my daughter. His instruction is detailed and he is excellent at wording specific batting movements in a way that makes sense to my daughter. Batting with excellence takes patience but Jason has a way of making her feel both supported and challenged. We are so grateful to have found him! The three years we have seen her progress with her batting and time well spent with Jason speaks for itself."

"Jason has been great with our daughter. He is not only passionate about the game but takes a personal interest in the development of her skills. He sets high expectations and holds her accountable for not only learning what he is teaching but practicing in between lessons. Jason has been very patient and does a nice job of explaining why he is teaching the techniques being taught. His ability to explain these things on a level that connects with the student is a big advantage."

"My eleven year old daughter has been taking hitting lessons from Jason Little for about six weeks, and we have been very impressed. Rather than just making small adjustments to her original swing, Jason is completely rebuilding her swing from the bottom up. While this process could have been overwhelming and frustrating, Jason breaks it down in such a way, and creates such a positive and supportive atmosphere, that my daughter feels good about the process and is intrinsically driven to attend lessons and practice in between lessons. Another impressive thing about Jason is that he provides support even between lessons. He taught us to video her swing and view it in slow motion so my daughter can identify what she is doing correctly and what she needs to correct. We then share these videos with him and he quickly responds with his own analysis so we can ensure that my daughter is practicing correctly. My daughter’s hitting has already improved significantly and we have confidence that it will continue to improve thanks to Jason’s instruction and support."

"We've taken hitting and catching lessons from Jason for over two years. My daughter's hitting and catching mechanics have improved tremendously with Jason's instruction. She has consistently been the top hitter on her travel teams and we frequently receive compliments on how good her swing looks. Her catching skills have improved dramatically from a very raw prospect to top catcher for both her high school feeder teams and travel teams. I would highly recommend Jason for hitting and defensive development."

"Hey guys,
Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to do your part. We have done a few virtual lessons and I will tell you they have been awesome. You would think there’s not really much you can do over a computer but if you haven’t tried it you REALLY SHOULD!! My daughter has been going to Jason every week for about 7 months now and she said she actually like the virtual lessons better than in person lessons. So like I said, if you haven’t tried it, you really should. We all need to do what we can to support our small local businesses in this time of closure and disruption for them. Everyone is being affected by this but if you have the means to help out please do. The instructors all work on an hourly basis and the effects of COVID have essentially wiped out their income for themselves and their families so I’m sure they are grateful for any little but they can get."

Our daughter has been taking hitting lessons from Jason for almost two years now. Her swing has come a long way, and Jason does a great job breaking down what a good swing should look so she always knows where she's strong and what components she should be working on. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Jason has had to go virtual. We've had two virtual lessons and both felt very productive. He's able to play back her swing for her to watch, parallels it with her old swings and/or high quality swings of others on the same screen, gives her drills/techniques to fix a certain component of her swing, and then compares again. It's certainly different from hands-on lessons, but still very effective.

Lilly had another great “virtual” hitting lesson with Jason Little this afternoon. I admit it, I was not convinced it would work that well but when faced with the decision as to whether just shut it down or give it a try I thought, what could it hurt? I have to say that these lessons have been extremely beneficial and in some ways are better than going in person. What Jason can do with with the video in a virtual lesson is really impactful. It helps Lilly to visually see what he is trying to teach her by watching her own swing and it also helps me understand what to look for when we are practicing at home. I actually think when we get past COVID-19 and into the new normal, whatever that will be, that we will continue to mix in virtual lessons. I encourage everyone to give it a try!

Wow, my daughter Brekkyn just finished her very first virtual lesson with Coach Jason Little. The interaction Brekkyn had with Jason through the computer screen was like we were in the facility with him. He was able to breakdown her swing and show her exactly what she did well and what she needs to work on. I was a little hesitant to try the virtual lesson at first but am so happy we gave it a shot. Thanks Jason Adam Little for finding a way to adapt during this time! ❤️🥎

Online hitting lesson with Jason Adam Little! It was a new and unique way of learning!

Just finished our first set of virtual lessons with Lily and Annie. What a great way to get our exercise, break up a monotonous week, and most importantly get better at softball while much of the competition is standing still.
You’ve got chairs, you’ve got a computer, you’ve got the girls and their gear. Give it a go. Support Jason in these crazy times, give your girls a great learning opportunity. Jason will video the swing, break it down in detail, spot flaws and prescribe drills to fix them. Really great hour with the girls with tons to work on until next time. Thanks Jason.

Hi there! My name is Olivia Stefl. I take lessons from Coach Jason. My brother and I just took our first virtual hitting lesson. I know it sounds a little weird, but with all that's going on in the world, I firmly believe that this is better than nothing.
My brother (Luke) and I have a little hitting area in our garage and we set up my computer and had our little half hour lessons with Coach Jason. My brother was the first to go. He swung a bit and Coach Jason took a screen recording and then showed it to my brother to show it him to address the problems in his swing. Luke says that he learned some good drills to do in the time that Coach Jason can't see him. He says he'll work on them to better his swing for the next time Coach Jason can see him. I was after him and I experienced the same thing. He showed me my video and compared it to another collegiate athlete showing me what I need to do to further improve my swing. As soon as the video started I started seeing the things I didn't even know I was doing. It was good to see what I was doing so then when Coach Jason isn't around, I can recognize it in myself and fix it before it gets worse.
I know this is a weird time and you may be hesitant to take a virtual lesson, but I can guarantee that something is better than nothing. When Coach Jason is doing your lesson, he is only focused on you. He can use his technology to slow down and specifically address the problem in your swing. I hope this helps for any who are a little anxious about the virtual lessons. I hope everyone is staying safe out there, and here's to bringing our seasons back soon!

(father of 10 year old Luke and 17 year old college commit Olivia) virtual lesson review:
"Jason, thanks for your continued support of my kids - Olivia (HS Jr.) and Luke (5th) - despite the Coronavirus challenges. You've kept up with their lessons - virtually! You're working through the obstacles, and in many ways, able to be even more effective - putting side by side comparisons onscreen, and being able to show them in slow motion capture exactly what they're doing right (and wrong!) Thanks for pushing through! Well worth it, even remotely!"

Good Evening
Sammie Henson had her first Virtual Lesson with Jason today. When I told Sammie about him doing Virtual Lessons, she was hesitant about it. It went alot better than she thought. Jason was able to video her while hitting off the tee and reviewed it with her. The only thing she didn’t have was real pitching and him physically being able to move her hands and arms into correct positions.
Sammie- It was more helpful and successful then I thought it would be. I learned things I needed to to improve on. So overall it was very very good and I recommend for all.
