For parents and guardians
Swing Lab is built for families. A parent or guardian sends the video, and it stays private.
What to expect
- It is free, and you can send one video at a time.
- You get general feedback on swing mechanics from your one video, plus a four-week drill plan, emailed to the parent address you give us, usually within about a day.
- It is not a coaching evaluation. A video cannot measure bat speed or exit velocity, so the plan will not claim to. If you have hit data, type it in and we will use it.
- Your video is stored privately and deleted after your plan is sent. Anything left is deleted automatically within 14 days. We never share it or use it for marketing.
- A parent or guardian must upload it and tick the boxes below.
Your video is never shared with other families, posted anywhere or used for marketing. It is deleted after your plan is sent. We do not ask for the player’s full name.
About the player
Used only to send your plan. We delete it from our upload storage with the video. The plan email we send you stays in the CBSL Swing Lab sent mail.
First name or nickname only, never a full name. Leave it blank if you prefer.
Why we ask: a video shows how a player swings (mechanics). Hard contact rate also needs hit data, such as exit velocity from a radar or app, or tracked at-bats. If you have any, add it here and we will build it into the plan.
Please do not type full names, phone numbers or addresses.
Pick a swing video
Choose a clip from your phone. It plays here so you can check it, then it is sent to us over a secure connection when you press Upload.
Up to 60 seconds and 150 MB, 3 to 5 swings. One video per submission.
Filming tips
- Two angles are best: one from the side (facing the player's belt buckle) and one from the front (from the pitcher's view, safely off to the side). Clips can be joined into one video, or send the better angle.
- Full body in frame, head to feet, with the bat finishing inside the picture.
- 3 to 5 normal swings off a tee or soft toss, not warm-up waggles.
- 60 frames per second if your phone can, in good light, phone steady on a stand or bucket.
- Keep other kids out of the frame, and keep a safe distance from the swing.

Thank you!
We’ll email your plan to within about a day. Your video is deleted after the plan is sent.
If you don’t see it, check your spam or promotions folder. The plan is general coaching guidance for baseball and softball, not medical advice.
