The Eyes + Brain Challenge

Five quick games that test how a 12U player (ages 7–12) sees the ball and thinks in the box. No bat, no video, just a phone. At the end your player gets their own Eyes + Brain card.

Parent questions

What does the Challenge test?

Hitting happens in the eyes and the brain before it happens in the swing. The Challenge checks how fast your player sees the pitch and the spin, whether they have a plan, if they stay cool in a big moment, and how they feel in the box.

Is it free and safe for my child?

Yes. It’s free, there’s no sign-up and nothing is shared. Scores stay on your device.

Is the Brain Check a test of my child?

No. It’s six simple questions about how your player feels when they bat, read out loud by a parent if that helps. It points to what to practice, not a grade on your child.

What should we do after?

Play one game a day for a week, then take the Challenge again. The 46/60 Hitting Processor and Mental Approach courses train these skills step by step.
