Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about cage rental, ages, softball, winter training and how to book at 503 Baseball and Softball Academy in Milwaukie, Oregon.

Short answers to the questions families ask most before a first session. If yours isn’t here, call 503-703-4778 or send us a message.

Do you rent batting cages?

No. Our cages are used for coached lessons and training sessions rather than open rental, so we don’t sell cage time by the hour. Everything in the building — the hitting cages, the pitching mounds, the turf and the strength room — is used with an instructor.

If what you’re after is hitting work, that’s exactly what our private and small-group hitting sessions are for: swing analysis, bat path and connection drills with a coach watching.

What ages do you work with?

Youth through high school. Group programs are organized into age brackets, and private lessons are matched to the player rather than to a fixed age. If you’re not sure whether your athlete is ready, call and ask — we would rather tell you honestly than sell you a lesson too early.

Do you coach softball, or only baseball?

Both. Softball is half our name and not an afterthought: we have instructors who specialize in softball pitching and catching, and we run a club softball team. You can see the full staff on the instructors page.

Do you train through the winter?

Yes, and it’s one of the real advantages of training here. The entire facility is indoors — 4,000 square feet of turf, cages, mounds and strength equipment — so lessons, clinics and strength work carry on through the wet months instead of stopping when the fields close.

Can we try one session before committing to anything?

Yes. Drop-in clinics exist for exactly that — small groups, no season-long commitment. They are a straightforward way to see whether the coaching is a fit for your player before you book anything longer.

Do you work with teams and organizations?

Yes — teams, leagues and organizations across the Portland metro, either at our Milwaukie facility or at your own site. The consultation form is the place to start; tell us what your group needs and we will come back to you.

Where are you, and is there parking?

13501 SE Johnson Road, Milwaukie, OR 97222 — just south of Portland, with parking on site. Directions and current hours are on the location page.

How do I get started?

New families begin with the new client registration form. To book a specific lesson, camp or clinic, everything currently open is listed under camps and clinics.
