This facility has the potential to be really nice, but it's got a lot of rough edges. I was there…read morethis past weekend for a tournament. The first thing is they need to have janitorial on staff the entire day on tournament days. Someone to walk around and pick up trash that people leave, someone to sweep up all of the debris, and someone to clean those nasty bathrooms. Every time I went to the bathroom this weekend, the sinks were stopped up, the toilets were stopped up, there was either no paper towels or there was a mountain of paper towels all on the floor. Someone should definitely be taking care of those bathrooms every hour with that many people at a tournament. It's just not sanitary. The other problem, and this is with most sports facilities, is that there weren't any healthy food options. All I saw were donuts, chips, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. The last problem is that there was no clear direction on how to pay to get into the tournament. We didn't know until the moment we showed up that it was cash, Venmo, or you could use an ATM in the corner. It would be nice to be able to online pay ahead of time, or take credit cards at the door. Especially now when people rarely carry cash.

This facility is stunning! The location is great, right off Highway 85. There's lots of fields…read moreavailable for soccer, football, lacrosse, and 6 courts for basketball, volleyball, games, running and more. You can pick up a day pass, book a birthday or corporate party, or host an event in the spare rooms upstairs. The managers who run the place are incredibly helpful. I love the mission: Promoting the Discovery of Jesus Through Sports. The Upward Star Center hosts tournaments throughout the year which are very exciting to attend. The Adidas Gauntlet national basketball for high school is here every year with hundreds of teams and college coaches. There's always something new for kids to do, from summer camp to personal trainers for elite athletes. I enjoy my weekly group work out class through the Spartanburg Medical Center Velocity group. The trainers are so helpful and teach correct form constantly. I always leave feeling exhausted but strong. I've seen a huge difference in my strength and confidence from this class!

Even batting cage facilities like this in Charlotte don't have a golf simulator, Pickle ball, fitness classes, basketball, HITTRAX and an indoor soccer area all in one spot! Not to mention they have a lounge area with a big TV to keep you entertained while your waiting on your son or daughter to get in the reps they need. You can rent out time slots for various training areas, or even schedule to have your team use the facility. We showed up a half hour before they closed and the parking lot was packed with cars. I thought there was no way anyone would be there on a late Wednesday night, boy was I wrong! They currently have some weekend events of small group training with local professionals for Softball/Baseball. Friday nights they have 'Fun Nights' for the youth to come have pizza and watch a movie or enjoy the various parts of the facility while the parents hang out or they can go out for a dinner date for a couple hours. (Imagine that, a date with your wife!) Forget Chucky Cheese, you can even rent out the facility for a birthday party! I was able to chat with owners for a little bit and they are awesome locals who just had a dream to do this and the opportunity presented itself. I'm excited to see what happens in the future for them and I'm glad we have such a great resource for the youth and college players locally to use. I hope they continue to grow and someday even offer equipment sales, even if its a small selection of accessories such as bat grip, gloves, etc. that would be great! Well why are you still reading?... Go get your bat and glove (or clubs if your into that) and go!

T-ball stands, and auto-pitching machines are available too. They have COLD drinks for only $1 available and are super friendly and local. Love it and can't wait for next season!

Unlimited range balls... jackpot!! They also are available for events - what a perfect place for a birthday party! They offer party packages and have some awesome add on services (sno cone machine, cotton candy, bounce house and more). This is a great place to spend an afternoon with the fam.

Coach Karen is probably the best kept secret in fastpitch softball coaching. For my daughters ninth…read morebirthday, this past July, we agreed to find her a pitching coach (a hefty investment for our family). We experimented with several (four!) coaches at local popular training facilities, but no one seemed to be a good fit for our girl. I randomly stumbled upon LKN Pitching while Google searching batting cages, emailed Karen, and got an immediate friendly response. It was love at first lesson. She is a top notch PRO. Easily the best instructor we have ever worked with for any of our kids. Her technical expertise is unparalleled. She is laser focused on where you're athlete is, and knows how to incrementally get them to where they need to be. She doesn't miss a thing! Very in tune with her clients needs. Extremely motivational in her approach to coaching. Uses a variety of coaching tools that provide fun, engaging, useful ways for your child to lean new techniques. Always patient. You will see HUGE progress very quickly with Coach Karen. Frankly, I'm shocked she doesn't have more reviews. I can only assume that she is so coveted by her clients, they probably don't want to share!! I can empathize with that. So very challenging to find good teachers in any arena. When you get one as good as this, you want to hold on tight. Her facility is a perfect, clean, intimate space to get the attention your athlete needs and deserves. No distractions, no attitudes, just solid support. Bonus for homeschoolers, she provides morning and early afternoon lessons!!! Also very hard to come by. I truly can't recommend LKN Pitching enough. The transformation we have seen in our daughter since working with Coach Karen, is remarkable. Did I mention she runs her own travel ball team, LKN Krakens, and coaches varsity softball at SouthLake Christian?? This coach is a powerhouse! Grab her before she's gone.

Within couple lessons my daughter was able to start in a game with confidence. My daughter will be taking more lessons this winter to prepare her for spring ball. Thanks Karen
