2011 TEAM SPORTS PRODUCT GUIDE
WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO BE GREAT? It isn’t just natural talent. It certainly isn’t the shoes or uniform you wear, or even the equipment you wield. And, despite what others may say, it goes way beyond just hard work. It’s a combination far more potent. One in which you unleash your athleticism, and hone the skills of your sport. And where you internalize a library of knowledge to shape them into razor-sharp weapons.
SO GET OUT THERE AND TRAIN LIKE AN ATHLETE. AND LEARN TO BE A PLAYER.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT TURNING ATHLETES INTO PLAYERS. It’s not enough just to be a great athlete. To truly unlock a player’s potential, they need technical proficiency in their sport. Rock-solid mechanics. Uncanny knowledge. And the ability to convert what they learn off the field into performance on it. Starting with the original Hit-A-Way ®, SKLZ has built its rich history on innovation in sport-specific skill training. It has always been about helping players take their games to the next level. And our latest generation of training products strongly embodies this tradition.
BASEBALL
The Key to CLUTCH. Natural talent? Of course. Physical conditioning, a critical building block. But what makes the difference for the game’s greatest players is the development of their skills. Through practice and repetition. With the best training tools. Until they have total trust in their games. Especially when the biggest prize is on the line.
