This place is a hidden jewel! Our family plans to come often. The batting cage is fun, staff are welcoming and helpful, and equipment is provided. Trying softball gave me a new respect for the game — can’t wait to come back!

Our son loves going to camp at D-BAT and looks forward to the time he gets to spend there! He’s developed his skills and got to spend time having fun playing a game he loves. We are glad he has a place to go with great coaches who make it challenging but fun!
Riley Coughlin
D-BAT camps and clinics are always awesome – my 9 year old son loves attending. His hitting, pitching, and fielding have noticeably improved as well. D-BAT is a great option for keeping skills up and learning new skills. Personnel are all great too. A+ for sure.

Behind the Plate is Where Leaders Are Made
Your kid works harder than anyone on the field. They squat every pitch. They block balls in the dirt. They manage the entire game from behind the plate. And most of the time, nobody talks about it.
This clinic is for them.
WHO THIS IS FOR
✅ Youth catchers who want to get better, not just busier
✅ Kids grouped by age AND ability, so your child works with athletes at their level
✅ Beginners who are still learning the position and need a confident foundation
✅ Experienced catchers ready to sharpen what they already know
No one gets lost here. No one gets overlooked.
WHAT YOUR CATCHER WILL WORK ON
🎯 Receiving and framing pitches
🎯 Blocking technique in the dirt
🎯 Footwork and throwing mechanics
🎯 Game management and communication behind the plate
🎯 The mental side of catching, because this position demands focus
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Our coaches do not just run drills. They teach your child how to think through the position. Catching is more than physical skill. It is reading a game, leading a pitcher, and staying locked in for every single pitch. We build that.
Your child will leave with real corrections they felt in their body, not just heard in a lecture. They will also leave knowing they are capable. That part matters just as much to us as the mechanics.
A NOTE TO PARENTS 🙌
We hear this often: “My kid shuts down when they get corrected.” We get it. That is why our coaches are trained to build up before they break down. Every athlete in this clinic gets coached with honesty and encouragement in equal measure. Confidence is not a bonus here. It is part of the curriculum.

About D-BAT Peoria
D-BAT Peoria provides a quality teaching environment with professional instruction to enhance the baseball and softball experience for players at all levels and help them reach their goals.
The best way to teach the game is by getting into the details of baseball and softball with each and every player and instructing them as individuals. D-BAT has a core belief that every player plays a different game and should be taught to maximize his or her talents to suit his or her game.
Our D-BAT Peoria location features an exceptionally well-lit, indoor climate-controlled facility, with an environment that invites parents to be a part of their ballplayer’s development along with a top notch pro shop to provide all your equipment needs.
We are considered the premier facility in Peoria due in large part to the innovative way that D-BAT connects the player and parent with coaches and facilities to better their game.

My child is newer to baseball, will he/she still enjoy camp?
Absolutely.
Kids who love having fun love D-BAT Camps.
For children who haven’t played competitively — or even recreationally — camp is still a thrill!
There are definitely baseball and softball activities — in addition other activities that kids love, regardless of their familiarity with sports competition.
Of course, if your child loves baseball or softball, they’ll feel right at home, too!
Do children need experience in baseball or softball to participate in a D-BAT Summer Camp?
Nope! No experience is required at all. We’ll be thrilled to teach them more about the sport and introduce them to concepts that might be newer to them, but coach them up so they feel confident participating.
Kids will be grouped by age and experience, so everyone will get the best experience for them!
