🏟️ Facilities & Training
Overview
Precision Baseball KC Indoor Training Center
Precision Baseball KC operates a dedicated indoor training facility at 11513 Strang Line Rd, Olathe, KS 66062. The climate-controlled facility provides year-round space for hitting, pitching and individual player development.
The facility includes three batting and pitching tunnels equipped with Hack Attack pitching machines, pitching mounds and batting tees. One tunnel is approximately 54 feet long, while the other two are approximately 70 feet.
Precision also uses outdoor baseball facilities in the Kansas City area, including Johnson County 3&2 and Blue Valley Recreation fields, for team practices and other baseball activities.
💡 Know The Pitch Take
Having its own indoor training facility is a meaningful advantage for Precision Baseball KC. It gives players access to a consistent year-round training environment and allows the organization to combine team practices with additional hitting, pitching and individual-development opportunities.
Families should still ask how frequently their specific team uses the indoor facility and what facility access is included in team fees. Precision also offers private lessons and other training opportunities separately, so it is worth understanding what is included with team participation versus what may involve an additional cost.

💡 Know The Pitch Tip

⚾ Tryout Information
Overview
Precision Baseball KC currently does not have any public tryout sessions posted. Families interested in joining the organization can submit an interest form or contact Precision to request a private evaluation and receive information about future tryout opportunities.
Precision offers programs from 9U–14U at the youth level and 15U–18U at the high school level, along with college-prep opportunities. Team availability and roster needs may vary by age group and coach.
After an interest form is submitted, Precision says its coaching staff reviews the player’s information, contacts the family by phone or email, and may schedule an evaluation to determine the appropriate fit.
💡 Know The Pitch Take
Precision’s private-evaluation option can be useful for families searching outside the traditional travel-baseball tryout period or looking for an opening on a specific team. Rather than waiting for a large organization-wide tryout, interested players can begin the process directly with Precision.
As with any travel-baseball evaluation, families should use the process to evaluate the team as well. Ask about the specific coach, current roster, competition level, practice expectations, tournament schedule, travel and total anticipated costs before accepting an offer.

💡 Know The Pitch Tip
Use the evaluation to evaluate the team as much as the team is evaluating your player. Precision offers multiple age groups and competitive levels, so pay particular attention to the specific coach, roster composition, competition level, training schedule and travel expectations for the team offering your player a spot.

🏆 Coaching & Player Development
Overview
Precision Baseball KC places a strong emphasis on player development, instruction and long-term baseball growth. The organization says its programs focus on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and character, with training opportunities extending from youth baseball through high school and collegiate-level play.
Precision is owned by Charlie Hovey, who is also a baseball instructor and associate scout with the Seattle Mariners. Precision lists Hovey as having 24 years of coaching experience, with previous college and professional baseball experience and involvement with Precision since its founding in 2015.
Coaching staffs are team-specific, and Precision publicly identifies head coaches across several youth and high-school age groups. Families should still evaluate the experience, philosophy and communication style of the coach assigned to their particular team.
💡 Know The Pitch Take
Player development appears to be one of Precision Baseball KC’s clearest organizational priorities. The combination of team baseball, a dedicated indoor training facility, private instruction and experienced coaches provides players with multiple ways to work on their game beyond tournaments and regular team practices.
Precision’s high-school program becomes more specialized, with the organization promoting position-specific instruction, video analysis, data-driven development, showcase participation and college recruiting guidance.
As with any travel organization, however, the individual coach remains one of the most important parts of the experience. Parents should understand how their prospective coach structures practices, gives feedback, handles playing time and balances individual development with winning.
📋 What Families Can Expect
✓ Organization-wide emphasis on player development
✓ Team-specific head coaches
✓ Dedicated indoor training facility
✓ Hitting, pitching and position-specific instruction
✓ Private instruction available outside regular team activities
✓ Increasingly advanced training at the high-school level
✓ Video analysis and data-driven development for older players
✓ Showcase and college-recruiting opportunities for high-school athletes
✓ Experience can vary by coach, roster and competitive level
📈 Development Pathway
Precision offers programs spanning 9U–14U youth baseball, 15U–18U high-school baseball and collegiate summer baseball, giving players the potential to remain within the organization through several stages of their development.
That does not necessarily mean advancement from one Precision team to another is automatic. Roster needs, competitive level, coaching staffs and player development can change from year to year, so families should ask how evaluations and team placement work as players move through the program.
At the high-school level, Precision shifts toward preparation for varsity baseball, showcase competition and college recruitment, with more advanced instruction and recruiting support.
🎓 College Recruiting Support
College recruiting is a documented part of Precision’s high-school program. Precision says older players receive recruiting guidance, showcase participation opportunities, college-coach connections and assistance navigating the recruiting process.
Precision also maintains a public college-commitment history. Its current list includes seven Class of 2026 commitments, with additional commitments documented across multiple previous graduating classes.
Owner Charlie Hovey’s staff profile also states that more than 50 players he has worked with have advanced to the college level, along with 15 players reaching professional baseball.
For families of older players, the important question is still what recruiting assistance will be provided to their specific player and team, rather than assuming every athlete receives exactly the same level of exposure or support.

- How are practices structured?

- How are positions and playing time handled?
- How does the team balance development with winning?
- How are players evaluated and placed as they progress through Precision’s program?
- For older players, what specific recruiting assistance is provided?
💡 Know The Pitch Tip
Evaluate the specific coach, not just the Precision name. Ask the prospective coach how they plan to make your player better over the course of the season and what development and recruiting resources that particular team will actually use.
✈️ Travel & Time Commitment
Overview
Precision Baseball KC’s travel and time commitment varies by age group, team and competitive level. The youth program covers 9U–14U and lists weekday practices, weekend games, spring-through-fall competition and winter training. Precision describes its tournament play generally as regional competition.
The commitment increases at the high-school level. Precision’s 15U–18U program includes weekend games and tournaments, showcase events, fall, spring and summer programming, and optional winter development opportunities. Its currently published high-school schedule also includes an Arkansas Baseball Fall Weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas for multiple 15U–17U teams.
Families should account for team practices, indoor training and other development activities in addition to tournament weekends. The exact schedule and travel expectations should be confirmed with the specific coach before accepting a roster spot.
💡 Know The Pitch Take
Precision appears to offer a primarily local-to-regional experience at younger ages, with greater travel and showcase commitments as players advance into high school.
That makes the specific team especially important. Two Precision families could have significantly different time and travel commitments depending on age, competition level, coach and tournament schedule.
Before committing, ask for the actual season calendar for your player’s team—including practices, tournaments, offseason training and anticipated overnight travel.
📋 At a Glance
✓ Youth teams from 9U–14U
✓ Weekday practices and weekend games for youth players
✓ Spring-through-fall youth schedule plus winter training
✓ High-school teams from 15U–18U
✓ Weekend tournaments and showcase events at the high-school level
✓ Regional travel is part of the program
✓ Out-of-state travel may occur for older teams
✓ Fall, spring and summer high-school programming
✓ Additional training can add to the overall time commitment
❓ Questions Parents Should Ask
- How many tournaments will this specific team play?
- How many tournaments are outside the Kansas City area?
- How many overnight trips should we expect?
- What is the farthest anticipated tournament?
- Which showcase or major events is the team planning to attend?
- How often will the team practice and train?
- What indoor training is expected during the winter?
- Are fall and winter activities required or optional?
- When will families receive the complete season calendar?
💡 Know The Pitch Tip
Ask to see the proposed tournament and practice calendar before accepting an offer. The Precision name alone does not tell you how much travel your family should expect—the specific team, age group and competitive level matter much more.
🧳 Travel Expectations
Precision describes its overall tournament program as competing in elite tournaments across the region, while its high-school program adds showcase events and higher-level competition. Current 2026 high-school schedules show multiple Precision teams traveling to Fayetteville, Arkansas, illustrating that older teams may have out-of-state travel commitments.
Families considering those teams should budget separately for hotels, transportation, meals and other travel-related expenses unless the organization confirms that particular expenses are included in team fees.
💰 Estimated Costs
Overview
Precision Baseball KC does not appear to publicly list current annual team dues or standardized season pricing. Costs may vary by age group, team, tournament schedule and travel requirements.
Precision does publish pricing for optional services such as private instruction and facility use, but those prices should not be treated as the cost of participating on a Precision team. The youth program also states that team uniforms are provided, although the public information does not make clear whether the uniform cost is included within team dues or charged separately.
Families should ask for a written, team-specific breakdown of costs before accepting a roster spot, particularly for older teams with additional travel, showcases or recruiting-related activities.
💡 Know The Pitch Take
Because team pricing is not publicly available, families should focus on the expected all-in family cost, not just the quoted team fee.
That means understanding team dues along with tournaments, uniforms, training, optional instruction and—when applicable—hotels, transportation, meals and showcase-related expenses.
📋 At a Glance
✓ Current annual team dues are not publicly listed
✓ Costs may vary by team, age and competitive level
✓ Precision operates its own indoor training facility
✓ Private and small-group instruction is available separately
✓ Travel expenses can increase considerably for older teams
✓ Families should request a team-specific written cost breakdown
💵 Potential Annual Expenses
Depending on the specific roster, families should ask about:
- Team/organization dues
- Uniform package and replacement items
- Tournament or event fees
- Indoor facility and training access
- Private or small-group instruction
- Hotels, transportation and meals
- Showcase or recruiting-related travel for older players
- College video preparation or other recruiting services
- Fundraising or other team-specific requirements
Precision currently publishes separate pricing for private lessons, group instruction, college-video preparation and certain facility rentals, confirming that supplemental training opportunities are available outside normal team participation.
❓ Questions Parents Should Ask
- What are the complete annual team dues?
- What exactly is included?
- Are uniforms included in team dues?
- Are tournament and event fees included?
- What access to Precision’s indoor facility is included?
- Is winter training included?
- Are private or small-group lessons optional or expected?
- How many trips are expected to require hotels?
- Are showcase or recruiting expenses separate for older players?
- Are there fundraising requirements?
- What payment schedule is offered?
- What is the refund policy if a player is injured or leaves the team?
💡 Know The Pitch Tip
Ask Precision for the expected all-in family cost for your player’s specific team—not just the team dues. A younger local team and an older showcase-oriented team can have very different total season costs once travel, training and other expenses are included
