OUR FACILITIES

The MAC provides a 10,000 square-foot indoor baseball/softball facility with six hitting tunnels.
​
Each hitting tunnel is set up with an L-screen for live batting practice and turf mound for bullpens. A softball pitching machine is also be available upon request.
BASKETBALL
The MAC provides a 12,000 square foot indoor basketball facility with six baskets and two regulation high school courts.
The playing surface is a seamless, durable, and highly shock absorbent poured urethane floor that reduces the risk of injury to athletes playing on the surface. It is the best alternative to hardwood floors on the market.
ICE & HOCKEY
The MAC offers the perfect environment for high-altitude training with our year-round indoor ice arena. The rink is a standard NHL-sized (85’ x 200’) sheet of ice with rounded corners. Our facility is equipped with an on-ice jump harness, stadium seating along one side of the arena, and four full-sized locker rooms.
