History

Established in 2005.

Opened in 2005, The StrikeZone Academy provides indoor baseball and softball practice facilities conveniently located in Alexandria Virginia, minutes away from DC, I-495 and I-395.

The facility features memberships and walk-in guest access in a time-based system (you pay for time in the facility and do not use coins or tokens). Our machines are automatic, a player can come in on his own and get plenty of reps in the baseball cages without a second person needed. There is a 72′ long dual pitching lane and a 40′ hitting cage – features you won’t find in outdoor cages.

Team and group rentals are available as well. Softball players/teams can rent our Jugs machine by the hour.

We also have a staff of top notch instructors to provide lessons in all aspects of the game.

2015 will mark our 10^th year in business serving the DMV baseball community!

In brief it’s an option when the weather is bad, costs $ 20 an hour for walk-ins, the machines throw strikes, you share the cages and you need to pick up your own balls and put them back in the armed pitching machine hopper (at least 10 – 15 minutes per hour picking up 2 buckets of balls). Staff was professional. Yearly Membership-Individual: $ 550. It is what it is.
HOW THE STRIKEZONE OPERATES for a «walk-in» guest: time-based, shared-space or can Rent a cage by the hour.
MACHINES DO NOT USE TOKENS OR COINS.
WALK-IN GUESTS
Individuals can practice as walk-ins for a guest fee of $ 20 per hour or $ 15 per half hour with no reservation or memebership required. This time period is calculated from the time one signs in at the front desk (there is no practical method to calculate your precise time inside the actual cage). You pay for time in the facility and can use any cage not rented/used for lessons.
Everyone must pick up all the balls they hit or throw in ANY cage and return them to the machines/buckets during sessions and before they leave the facility.

Good Location, decent size facility, and instructors are amazing! I have been working with Coach Kevin for over year and he has improved my game a lot.

Not thrilled. In fact, we walked out. Went in for slow pitch, which they advertise, and found out they don’t actually have slow pitch. They will set up a machine, but their rate is SIXTY DOLLARS PER HOUR. There are more reasonable facilities.

Nice batting cage. Machines throw strikes and their timing is predictable. They have bats and helmets as well. I think you can hire an instructor for a hitting lesson if that’s your thing.
It’s a tight fit in there because they’ve got about 4 different pitching lanes. I guess they have a rule about swinging a bat outside of the cage, which makes sense. I remember as a kid wandering around and getting hit in the jaw by a random swing. Sure, it was probably avoidable, but that’s the thing about kids: they wander around without much focus and tend to walk into things like swinging bats.

The Strikezone Baseball & Softball Academy has amazing coaches that will help raise your ball playing skills to the next level. I rate the coaching experience with 5-stars!
*** Heads Up ***
To eliminate your frustration, wasted time, and having to deal with a exasperating counterperson born with tiger blood and a mandate from heaven…
…make sure you confirm everything you schedule via email first thing Monday; because what you schedule in person or over the telephone doesn’t always happen, coaches aren’t notified; and worse, you show with someone else being given your reserved spot instead!
Any issue; bring a copy of the email you sent.
