It may be the dark days of February, but spring is inching ever closer. In the second article in this series, I'm going to tell you about the best sports equipment available in our store to help you get the most out of Spring Training.

Every Baseball team needs a good pitching machine. Check out the JUGS MVP Pitching Machine. It's a great, affordable option for the local little league team or the local high school. It comes with a digital readout that allows you to vary the speed from 15 to 52 mph. Give your pitchers a rest!

If you don't want to outlay the costs for a pitching machine but want mechanize your practices in some way, check out the JUGS Baseball Deluxe Toss Pack. It comes with a low speed baseball or softball tosser, a backstop, remote for tosser, home plate and a dozen Sting-Free baseballs. It's great for doing offensive and defensive drills with your infield and outfield players.

If you have the next Babe Ruth on your hands and you want to provide a place for him to practice all the time, then consider the JUGS Backyard Net Package. It includes twine netting, installation kit and screens. This coupled with the pitching machine would be the ultimate home baseball training kit.

If baseball isn't your thing, we also carry the JUGS Soccer Machine which will help you perfect your goal kicking. We've also got the JUGS Football Passing machine if you can't wait to get started prepping for the next football season.

And don't forget a radar gun! Check out the last entry for my recommendations on the best Spring Training radar guns.
