Why 1%
The name is the mission: the extra rep after practice, the swing you take on a Sunday nobody's watching, the offseason work that doesn't show up until next season. 1% Sports Akron exists for players willing to put in that work — a dedicated space to train year-round, regardless of weather or field availability.
The Facility
Four full cage bays with pitching machines, turf throughout. More photos go up as construction wraps — see the gallery page for the latest.
Who We Train
First-time players working on the basics, travel ball athletes sharpening a specific skill, and everyone in between. If you're willing to put in the work, there's a program here for you.
