Grand Opening Event Oct. 27 to Feature Free Baseball and Softball Instruction, Opportunity to Win Future Private Lessons.

While professional baseball season will soon come to an end with Major League Baseball World Series kicking off this week, for young area athletes a new, indoor baseball and softball facility will keep the season going year-round. MVP Sports Complex is a 10,000 square-foot indoor baseball and softball facility located in the heart of Minooka offering both group and private instruction as well as camps and clinics for young athletes and even parents.

“As a baseball professional and parent of a young athlete, it was evident there was a need for an indoor complex to accommodate the growing number of competitive young baseball and softball players in our area,” said Lou Simios, co-founder of MVP Sports Complex. “What sets the facility apart is not only the premium level of equipment and outfitting of the complex but we have hand-picked the best instructors specializing in youth baseball and softball instruction and are encouraging everyone to come and experience our approach at our upcoming grand opening event,” continued Matthew Zilis, co-founder of MVP Sports Complex.
