The Baseball Zone: Building Tradition

by Rick Johnston on December 5, 2011

It is our passion for baseball that led to the creation of The Baseball Zone. Our elite, indoor baseball training complex provides and fosters an understanding and love for this game like no other. It is designed to be a welcoming home for baseball and softball players of all ages and playing levels. We employ the very best training philosophies, equipment and staff to fully assist our athletes to reach their goals. We maintain a sporting atmosphere that will add to the enjoyment of baseball for everyone that comes through our doors. We will also make your every visit to The Baseball Zone a friendly, invigorating experience that the team, the youth and the elite athlete will be challenged by, learn from and want to return to again and again.

The Baseball Zone is entering its 9^th year in the baseball training industry. The BaseballZone roots began in 2003 with the opening of a 15,000 square foot building located in Mississauga, Ontario.  Principle owners Mike McCarthy and Rick Johnston have spent countless hours over the last 9 years developing and enhancing programs that can be tailored to the needs of every player that walks through the doors. The program offerings have expanded from the early years of basic instructional clinics, team programs and private lessons to High Performance Programs that operate year round.

Additionally, in 2007 The Baseball Zone added a Strength and Conditioning service to our business portfolio, Sports Specific Training (SST), that is a provider of programs for functional strength that all aspiring athletes need to get to their optimal level of performance.  Similar to the High Performance Baseball Programs that operate year round, the strength and conditioning, SST Canada program does the same. Their athletes are not just aspiring baseball players, college or professional players, they also synergize with athletes in many other sport disciplines such as hockey, soccer, volleyball and basketball.

The relationship with the Mizuno Brand goes hand in hand...Mizuno is considered the worldwide leader of baseball products, research and development, while The Baseball Zone strives to continue to be the industry leader in the commitment to teaching of the game.  The Baseball Zone would like to thank Mizuno Canada for its support and sponsorship of Mizuno product, apparel and footwear. If you have not used Mizuno product then you haven’t used the best. Please follow us at www.thebaseballzone.ca review our baseball blogs, check for upcoming events and programs.
