Training Equipment

An agility ladder lies flat on the ground for footwork drills that improve quickness, coordination and balance, which help infielders react to ground balls and base runners get a faster first step. We carry the SKLZ Quick Ladder, Quick Ladder Pro and Elevation Ladder. Combine them with the SKLZ Agility Cone Set and Hurdles for complete speed sessions. Shop all training equipment.

Resistance bands are widely used for warm-ups, arm care routines and strength work for the shoulders and legs. They're light, easy to pack in a bat bag and can be used before games and practices. We carry the SKLZ Pro Bands in Light and Medium, the Rawlings Resistance Band and SKLZ Training Cables with Quick Change Handles. Ask a coach or trainer for a routine suited to your age and level. Shop all training equipment.

SKLZ Training Cables are colour-coded by resistance: Extra Light (10-20 lb, yellow), Light (30-40 lb, orange), Medium (50-60 lb, red), Heavy (70-80 lb, gray) and Extra Heavy (90-100 lb, black), plus a 40 lb Pro Training Cable in pink. Lighter cables suit arm care and warm-ups, while heavier ones are for leg and full-body strength. Add a Pro Single or Pro Triple Quick Change Handle to switch cables easily.

A speed chute, like the SKLZ Speed Chute, is a small parachute that attaches to the runner's waist and opens behind them during a sprint, adding resistance that builds acceleration and leg power. It's a fun way to work on getting down the line to first base faster. For more resisted sprint options, see the SKLZ Speed Sac in our training equipment.

The SKLZ Weighted Vest and Super Sand Bag are strength and conditioning tools best suited to older, more experienced athletes. Younger players usually get more benefit from body-weight exercises, agility ladders, cones and light bands. If you add weight to training, follow a program from a qualified coach or trainer and focus on good form. See our ladders, cones and bands in training equipment.

Along with speed and strength gear, this collection includes SKLZ hitting tools like the Power Stick, Heavy Hitter, Quick Stick, Recoil 360, Hit-A-Way Select and the SKLZ 5-Position Tee, plus Bat Pop Wraps for baseball and softball bats.
