Client Reviews

  • "Samp's is an outstanding environment that not only teaches and reinforces the fundamentals of good baseball but is building character and confidence in the players. We are blessed to have such an amazing facility run by great people in our community. Kudos to Bill and Amy Sampen and their team."

    Harold Cross - Dad of Cincinnati University Commit

  • "Going to the Shack was the best decision I've made for development of my son as a ball player and as a maturing young man. They teach how to play the game the way it is supposed to be played. From the first moment we walked in the door, we felt at home. As a parent, peace of mind that your child is in good hands and that you can whole heartedly trust what they're doing for your child is priceless. Everyone you meet at the Shack truly cares about your child and about the game we all love so much! Being a member of the Hack Shack isn't just a membership, it's being part of a family!"

    Craig Toney - Dad of Transylvania University Commit

  • “The staff and owners are wonderful! My son and I have gotten to know many of the staff members from top to bottom. They are all very knowledgeable and very qualified. They all have played baseball or softball at a high level. They will always have your kids best interests at heart and your kids will always leave the facility knowing how to approach the game correctly and what they need to do on the field and in life to find success!”

    AJ Hodges

  • “For any young child looking for great coaching Samp’s is the place. Their patience and encouragement for children to grow their abilities is like none other. No matter what coach you see they will no doubt give their best to your child and teach them the correct fundamentals to help them reach success!!!”

    Nancy Mundt

  • “Coach Bill is amazing with our son. Our son is a bit shy and quiet and Coach Bill always finds a way to open him up. He has also learned so much about Pitching and is really coming into his own with each lesson. Not only does Coach Bill give our son all the fundamentals our son needs to grow his talent but he helps with the mental game as well. He is so encouraging to our son and that really means the world to this mama! Get a membership, take a lesson, you won’t regret it.”

But more than this - they know how to teach baseball in a way that kids can understand and do it right. And they really do care about developing the kids. I can't say enough how thankful we are for the opportunity to learn from these guys! And it really does feel like a family here - so glad to be a part of this family!"
