About Tier 1
WHO IS TIER 1? Tier 1 Performance is an elite baseball performance program for athletes who desire growth. Our program is geared to build the whole athlete - emphasizing the importance of speed, strength, mobility, mindset, character, nutrition and the fundamentals. Though we are known for our first-in-class strength program, we also offer individualized nutrition, hitting and pitching programs throughout the year. We are located in Edina, MN and we welcome all baseball athletes from all ages, stages, teams and locations.
WHO DOES TIER 1 WORK WITH? Baseball athletes ages 10-18
WHAT DOES TIER 1 LOOK LIKE? Tier 1 is a results-focused baseball performance training program. Athletes train in a group environment with other purpose-driven (dedicated) athletes for one hour/day, 2-4 times per week. Despite the group environment, our athlete-specific programming ensures each athlete has a personalized program. Within each training session, athletes can expect to cover: Movement Prep / Dynamic Warm-Up, Speed & Agility, Plyometrics, Strength Training, Arm Care, and Mobility / Soft Tissue Circuit.
WHEN DO TIER 1 SESSIONS TAKE PLACE? Tier 1 offers quarterly training programs throughout the year (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). These programs are 8-14 weeks in length depending on the time of year. As a results driven program, we’ve discovered 8-14 weeks to be the minimum commitment for athletes to put on size, become stronger, and more explosive.
