Step 1: Coach Assignment
Assign best fit coach to guide and mentor your son
After learning your son's situation, our team will match him with one of our over four-dozen Performance Coaches, ensuring he has someone with both the experience and coaching style to meet his specific goals.
Step 2: Remote Assessment
Identify your son's strengths and weaknesses
Our intake process identifies how your son is uniquely designed to move, uncovering both what he already does well and where the biggest opportunities for improvement are. We'll identify mechanical flags, strength and mobility deficits, arsenal and nutritional opportunities, and more.
Step 3: Custom Plan
A training plan that evolves as he does
We build a comprehensive training plan unique to your son's situation, with a 365-day perspective in mind. With monthly program updates, easy-to-follow instructional videos, and complete access to his coach, he'll have everything he needs to take control of his development.
Step 4: Guidance
Unlimited support from a coach who cares
Tread is an interactive coaching service, not just a program to follow. Your son can ask daily questions through the Tread+ app and schedule weekly phone or video calls. Submit video for breakdowns, form checks, outing reviews, pitch design feedback, and more. Whatever is holding him back, we're here for him.
Step 5: Results
Focus on training, let us handle the rest
While some wins come fast, others take time, persistence, and problem-solving. Your son brings the work ethic, and we'll bring the plan. As he hits his training benchmarks and key performance indicators, we'll set our sights on newer, more ambitious goals together.
Step 6: In-House / Hybrid
Experience a world-class training environment
Unlock the ability to book add-on in-house visits at our private, 33,000 square foot training headquarters. Most athletes plan a couple pit stops throughout the year to work hands-on with their coach and train in an environment where everyone is chasing a shared dream.
Join a community of parents and pitchers who are obsessed with development.
Tread pitchers dream big. With athletes spanning 50 states and 24 countries, join a global community of players who are hell-bent on discovering just how good they could be.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the questions we get asked most.
How much does Tread cost?
Our athletes commit to 12-months of guidance, with a one-time assessment fee and the option to pay annually or in monthly installments.
There are also hybrid training options available, with separate pricing for in-house visits.
Pricing varies based on a number of factors, so for an accurate answer, please reach out.
Does this plan work with my team or current program?
Yes. Nearly all of our remote athletes have pre-existing team programs, practice schedules, and obligations that we take into account.
We will tailor your training protocols around whatever constraints are in place and work with your existing team/coaches when necessary to provide a solution that works with your program.
How do the in-house visits / hybrid training options work?
While many athletes train entirely remotely, the majority plan multiple in-house visits to Charlotte each calendar year. These visits are an opportunity to utilize our in-house technology, connect with other like-minded pitchers, experience the environment and build a closer relationship with your coach.
Book a call to learn more about these options, which can range from one-day visits to an entire year for local or gap-year players.
Does Tread work in-season?
Yes. Our plans are built with a 365-day experience in mind.
We’ve found that in-season there’s a greater need for guidance, with less margin for error. The emphasis in-season shifts to optimizing for in-game performance. This includes monitoring and providing feedback on mechanics, pitch shapes, recovery training sessions, strength maintenance, game planning, outing reviews, mental preparation, and more.
That said, we also have options to Pre-Register, so even if you don’t plan to start until a specific date, schedule a call to reserve a spot in advance.
What equipment is required?
Your coach can adjust your plan to whatever equipment you have available, whether you’re on the road, with your team or training in your basement.
Generally, you will want a gym for training (barbells & dumbbells at a minimum), a place to throw, and access to a pitcher’s mound.
We highly recommend a set of plyocare balls, a set of bands, access to a radar gun, and a throwing partner.
What ages do you work with?
We work with professional, college and high school athletes. Due to the nature of remote training, we do not recommend our service for athletes younger than high school age.
Do you train two-way or position players?
We do! About 10% of our athletes are position players. We still individualize your plan based on your goals (such as sprinting speed, position-specific arm strength and hitting power).
