Early Drop-off & Late Pick-up
Is there early drop-off and/or late pick-up offered? How do I sign my player up?
If you would like to drop off your player early (no earlier than 8am) and/or pick them up late (no later than 4pm), our staff will look after them during these hours.
If you are signing up for/scheduling only a single day of camp and would like to sign up for early drop-off and/or late pick-up, you can add one or both($30 each or $60 total for both) on to your individual camp day during your sign up process.
If you have purchased a package of camp days and you know your player will need early drop-off and/or late pick-up for multiple days, you can purchase a package of 8, 16, or 24 hours depending on how many you think you will use during the camp, and coordinate your schedule accordingly. The more hours you buy, the bigger the discount.
NOTE: If you purchase a package of early drop-off/late pick-up hours, make sure not to check them as an add-on when you are signing up for your camp days and instead schedule them on their own.
Do you have a siblings special for early drop-off/late pick-up?
Yes. If you have two players at the camp that are siblings, they will be included together for early drop off and late pick up, meaning you only have to pay for one.
NOTE: We do not provide refunds or credits on any remaining early drop-off and late pick-up packages. Please plan accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide customer service for questions about the camp?
Of course! Please read through the questions below and they will likely give you the answer you are looking for. If you have further questions or need assistance with scheduling, please feel free to contact us.
Who is MADE and who will be coaching at the camp?
The camp will be lead by the founder of MADE Baseball, Coach Isaac Hess, and we are excited to announce that we have commitments from the following MADE Baseball Professional Coaches:
Coach Alexander Smith
Location: Glassell Park Recreation Center in Glendale
We will have other MADE coaches making appearances throughout camp as well. We will maintain a coach to player ratio of about 1 coach for every 8-10 players.
MADE is a professional baseball coaching staff that provides baseball lessons, camps, and classes all throughout the greater Los Angeles area, and coaches from our staff will be coaching at the camp. From the thinking fundamentals to the physical fundamentals, #GettinMADE is about helping our youth develop into quality and complete players, individuals, and teammates.
Where can I register for the winter sports camp?
Register for a single day or Purchase a Package. If you purchase one of our discounted packages, you will receive an email with instructions on how to schedule your specific desired camp days. This allows you to conveniently book any camp days that work for your schedule on your own through our easy to use online scheduling system!
Is there early drop-off and/or late pick-up offered? How do I sign my player up?
Yes. Learn about our early drop-off and late pick-up offering and policy and purchase a package of hours.
Do you offer a sibling discount for the camp?
The best way to save when it comes to siblings is to buy a package of camp days. You are able to use one package of camp days as you please for either of the siblings.
For example, if you buy a package of 12 camp days, you are able to split them up as desired amongst your two players. With a 12 pack, both players would be able to attend 6 days each, or one could attend 8 days and the other could attend 4. We make it easy for you to do what works best for your schedule and needs!
Do you provide an early bird special for the camp?
Yes! Purchase a package of 8 or 12 camps days by November 30 and receive an additional 10% discount off your package.
Enter coupon code EARLYMADE10 at checkout to redeem the early bird special!
Do I have to sign up for a full week? Or can I just register my player for a single day?
We allow you to sign up for a single day, or you can purchase a discounted package of 4, 8, or 12 camp days. The bigger the package, the bigger the discount!
What is your refund policy?
See our refund policy here.
What should my player wear to camp?
Your player needs to wear baseball pants, cleats, and hat during hustle ball.
We suggest wearing baseball pants with mesh shorts underneath so that they can easily remove their baseball pants after hustle ball and wear shorts for the latter half of the day.
We also suggest that your player bring a pair of tennis shoes to change into after hustle ball if they prefer not to wear their cleats for the entire day of camp.
Will lunch be provided to the campers?
No. Please remember to have your player bring their own lunch as well as a snack and plenty of water!
What can campers expect to do at the winter sports camp?
From 9am-3pm each day, campers will be having a blast and learning the fundamentals of the game of baseball, football, and soccer from our professional staff of MADE Coaches! Each day of camp, the MADE Coaching Staff will be running a variety of baseball drills, hustle ball games, home run derbies, pitching contests, and more.
We will run drills to teach different concepts of the game prior to playing our action packed hustle ball games each day.
What sport will the camp focus on the most?
The camp will focus primarily on baseball, but we will play other sports in the later part of the day and have various fun activities for the campers to mix things up! In the latter half of each day we will play touch or flag football, soccer, capture the flag, and/or more.
What is Hustle Ball?
Hustle ball is a MADE Baseball signature offering that has gained massive popularity amongst young players in Santa Monica. It was created by the MADE Baseball Coaching staff to help teach youth players how to play the game the right way while having a blast, learning how to pick up their teammates and themselves, and staying on their toes!
Hustle ball is a live game setting with coaches pitching in order to get players more at bats and more live game fielding and situations. Hustle ball is a challenging game and it naturally rewards the players who play smart, play hard, are great teammates, and always give 100% effort.
Hustle ball quickly teaches accountability to those players who miss paying attention to the details, do not exhibit teamwork and sportsmanship, argue with calls that don’t go their way, and decide not to hustle. We do this through a fun but disciplined way by giving additional outs to a team when we see infractions. We move fast, have fun, and always prioritize the safety of our players.
Players quickly learn how to consistently show respect to their coaches, teammates, and themselves. They will learn to work together, to have short memories when they fail, to pick themselves and their teammates up when things don’t go their way, to pay attention to the details, and to always hustle anytime they step foot on the field. Did we mention Hustle Ball is a blast and they will love playing it? (The coaches love it just as much!)
How will the players will be grouped?
They will be grouped appropriately relative to safety determined by the MADE Baseball Coaching Staff. Sometimes we will have a younger player play up with an older group and sometimes we will have an older player play down with a younger group. Our primary focus when grouping players is always safety of all of the campers.
Does my player need to be experienced in baseball to join camp?
It is advisable for players to have at least some baseball experience, but so long as they have a good attitude, they can listen well, and want to play, they can sign up for camp!
Can I use one package for siblings? (ie: Can I purchase a 12 pack of camp days and have my two boys come for 6 days each?)
Yes! We make this easy to do within your purchased camp day package! Just be sure to schedule each player individually.
THIS CAMP WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.
Hustle Ball will be played every day!
We teach our players how to pitch, hit, field, run, and THINK like Champions.
