Maximize practice time and space

The Lab supports high-quality training for all levels of players, even when teams are on the go.

Portable

Sets up in under 15 minutes using a standard 110V outlet or generator, and packs away into a heavy-duty rolling case.

Dual-Sport

Engineered specifically for the two largest demographics in youth sports: Baseball and Softball.

Versatile

Perfectly suited for front-toss and tee work, providing athletes the reps they need to stay sharp.

Safety-first Engineering

We’ve made it a priority to ensure the safety of your players and surrounding property. High-speed impacts are kept under control with innovative build techniques and high quality-materials.

Integrated L-Screen

A professional-grade safety screen is built directly into the netting infrastructure. This tosser protection gives coaches and parents confidence during batting practice without the need for additional bulky, metal equipment on your property.

Adjustable Softball Aperture

Engineered to work with softball pitching machines, our patent-pending design affords teams and facilities with more flexibility to accommodate a wider range of players.

Air-Beam Technology

The outer structure contains zero metal framing or poles. This eliminates the risk of dangerous ball ricochets, protecting players, fans, and surrounding property.

Commercial Netting

100% enclosed with high-impact, #36 knotted nylon netting. It is engineered to absorb 100+ mph exit velocities, keeping the ball contained within the center of the unit.

Built on the Dirt, for the Dirt

I didn't build The Lab in a boardroom. I built it because I was tired of hauling heavy L-screens, fighting with 30-minute setups, and seeing facility costs skyrocket. As a dad and a coach, I wanted my players to have a professional-grade training environment they could take anywhere.

We are a family-owned, San Diego-based innovation team. When you buy from SSI, you aren't just getting a cage; you're getting a facility engineered by people who spend their weekends at the same ballfields you do.
