As Gloria Morris puts it, Great Lakes Sports Hub was conceived as a space that goes beyond sports training. "We wanted to create an environment for athletes that was a comprehensive approach to their development," she shares.
The complex offers a variety of facilities, from baseball and softball classes to rentals for soccer, combining entertainment, well-being, and physical performance.
The baseball revolution with Batbox
The incorporation of Batbox technology has been a game-changer for Great Lakes Sports Hub. Gloria Morris explains, "When I found this, I was so excited to bring it to our community because I had never seen anything like it before."

The Batbox experience features options for games of three, six, or nine innings, as well as batting and pitching challenges, making it accessible to people of all skill levels. "It's a cool way for people to come together, have fun, enjoy our environment, and have some friendly competition," Morris points out.

The impact of Batbox goes beyond individual experience. Gloria Morris highlights how it has brought the sense of community to life at Great Lakes Sports Hub. "It brought tears to my eyes the first time we had a group party here," she excitedly shares. The technology has created a unique dynamic where players compete inside while spectators cheer from outside, creating a tangible connection and excitement.
