Frequently Asked Questions

Our platform is fully compatible with your basic at-home technology such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. We recommend a minimum of two (2) cameras during your live lesson.

We ask that athletes have access to a pop-up net / bownet to throw and hit into. Athletes will also need access to a baseball bat, balls and a tee.

We’ve had a very high success rate with connecting our athletes with the right instructor. However, there are times when a change is needed. Athletes will always have the option of choosing between multiple instructors.
If an issue occured during your lesson, we would love to hear your feedback.

Blast Motion is the official bat sensor technology for Between The Lines. This sensor goes on the knob of the bat and provides our instructors with real-time metrics and data of each swing during our live lessons.

Yes. The blast motion is included in the “MVP” package.

We serve baseball and softball athletes of all ages!

BTL is equipped with the best technology and instructors on the market. Our technology opens up a wide range of capabilities during our lessons such as live 1-on-1 instructional interaction, drawing tools, slow-motion video playback, multi-camera analysis and side-by-side comparison. Also, all of our lessons are saved to the cloud so you can have access anywhere, anytime.

While we take a lot of pride in our technology, we couldn’t do it without our current Major League Baseball Affiliated Athletes providing the instruction. That’s right! Between The Lines is equipped with instructors that are still at the highest level of professional baseball.

Our technology along with our instructors are helping youth athletes develop at a faster pace!

Athletes are able to switch between instructors or lesson types (hitting, pitching, catching) with their BTL subscription.

We have many different instructors that are available at many different times. With our instructors playing different seasons at different levels, we’re able to have instructors available at both day and night.

Yes, we believe that this is when you need your instructor the most. We want our athletes to stay sharp during the season along with continuing to develop and build on the adjustments from the off-season.

Signing up on BTL is a very simple process. We want you to spend less time signing up and more time training. We have a few different packages to choose from on the Pricing Page to help fit your athlete’s needs.

Our customers are responsible for cancelling their subscriptions. If you need to cancel your subscription, please find your initial confirmation email to update your subscription status.

All lessons must have a full 24-hour notice prior to cancelling. If the lesson is not cancelled within the 24-hour window, that lesson will be forfeited.

Lessons do not roll over into the next month. Athletes will have until the next pay period to use their lessons.

Yes, many of our athletes participate in both options. We offer our athletes the ability to add-on lessons if they run out within their subscription. This option will be listed within their confirmation emails.

If you’re interested in a custom subscription package, shoot us an email here.

Athletes in middle school have already begun committing to collegiate programs. With recruiting beginning earlier, we recommend athletes as young as 7th grade participate in the BTL recruiting program.

Between The Lines offers much more than getting your athlete to college. Our platform tracks the metrics of each and every athlete to ensure that their development never becomes stagnant. Athletes within the BTL recruiting program will continually improve their skills while our advocates are promoting them to their future college.

Our program for the first year is a 12-month commitment. However, to avoid a big payment upfront, we allow monthly payments for our recruiting program. Following the one year commitment, the program becomes month-to-month.

Our program collaborates well with travel organizations. The bridge between travel organizations and our platform enables us to properly measure your goals within that organization to make sure your development and exposure never becomes stagnant.

Between The Lines has built many relationships with collegiate coaches over the years. We have over 2500 collegiate coaches in our database from states all across the country.

Prior to the event, we send out a list of schools that have been confirmed for our event. We share this list with the athletes registered to allow them to reach out to the schools to make an introduction.

We send out the showcase link prior to the event to allow our registered athletes the opportunity to share the ink with other collegiate coaches that are not confirmed for the event.

The collegiate coaches will have access to all player contact information prior, during and after the event. This will allow them to reach out to you or your recruiting coordinator directly.

This meeting allows us to discuss details for the upcoming showcase event. We will also include tips to provide athletes the opportunity to record their best numbers at the event.

Following the showcase, we meet with every athlete from the event and provide them with a detailed presentation that shows them where their development is in comparison to some of the best collegiate athletes in the country. This will show the athletes where they stand, how far they need to go and what it will take to get to their end metric goals.

Our rankings continue to push development. We eliminated the human aspect of ranking players and have built our rankings based on metric performance. Athletes will be able to improve their ranking by improving their metrics. Each metric is weighted differently which factors into the athlete BTL Score. The higher the BTL Score, the higher the ranking.

We’ve had hundreds of athletes receive offers from collegiate programs all over the country.

• Infield Velocity
• Outfield Velocity
• Catcher Velocity
• Pop Time

Position Player Metrics (Offense)

• 60 Yard Dash

Our metrics are shared with the athletes the same day of the showcase event. Metrics and rankings will be updated on player profiles 2 days following the event.

Following the event, we send out metrics, video, top performers and contact information to all of the coaches within our database.

If a collegiate coach misses the event, they will be able to go back and rewatch on their own time with access to all player metrics.

College coaches attend BTL Tournaments by either watching games in-person or remote.

Prior to our tournament, we send collegiate coaches information including rosters, metrics, schedules submitted by the head coaches of the teams within our event.
