Finding the Right Home for The Training Camp HQ

Since May of 2025, we have toured properties across the Charlotte area searching for the right home for The Training Camp HQ, a new indoor baseball training facility in the Matthews and Charlotte, North Carolina area.

At times, the process felt a little like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One building had too many poles in the middle of the floor. Another had holes throughout the walls. Some ceilings were too low to practice pop flies. Others were metal warehouses that would feel like ovens in the summer, reaching nearly 100 degrees inside with no air conditioning.

So much potential but not quite right for what we were building…

If we are building a serious baseball training facility, the details matter.

Location mattered just as much. Some properties were too far out or too far down Highway 74. We talked with friends, teammates, and other baseball families across the Charlotte youth baseball community and kept hearing the same thing. It is too far from where we live our lives.

So we listened! Our goal is to build a baseball training facility in right in our community around the Charlotte/Matthews area that families across the Charlotte can easily drive to, whether they play Little League, travel baseball, or high school baseball.

Every property tour helped refine the vision. We want athletes training in a space that is comfortable year-round, with ceilings high enough for real baseball development and turf designed for serious practice. We even ordered turf samples to test. It turns out there are more than a dozen different types of sports turf, and choosing the right one matters.

More than anything, this process reinforced one thing… We are not just building a place to practice baseball. We are creating a place where families spend time together, and athletes grow up around the game.

The right building is not just a shell. It is the foundation for everything that comes next!
