If you're a pitcher who wants to extend your career, protect your arm, or separate yourself from the competition, yes – this program is for you. The Knuckleball Academy is designed for anyone looking to add an effective new pitch. Whether you've had arm injuries, lost some velocity, or just need something to stand out, the knuckleball can be your solution.

Our system is proven to get you throwing a knuckleball within 3 months (or sooner) as long as you follow the program. In fact, many students see significant progress in just weeks. We're so confident in the training that we guarantee you'll add the knuckler to your arsenal in three months – or we'll work with you until you do. Your improvement is our priority.

We've had students as young as 8 years old successfully learn the knuckleball. The knuckleball doesn't rely on size or strength – it's about technique, which means young pitchers can excel with it. In many cases, youth pitchers find the knuckleball easier on their arms than throwing breaking balls. As long as your child has the attention to learn the drills, they're not too young to start. (And of course, we ensure the training is fun and safe for all ages.)

Absolutely. The knuckleball is one of the most unique and unpredictable pitches in baseball – and that’s exactly what makes it so effective. While it’s less common, it’s been used at the highest levels of the game for over a century. Hall of Famers like Phil Niekro and modern pros like R.A. Dickey have built entire careers around it. The knuckleball’s slower speed and unpredictable movement can throw hitters off balance in ways no other pitch can. It may not look like a traditional fastball or curve, but make no mistake – when thrown well, the knuckleball is a powerful weapon.

We offer multiple enrollment tiers to fit every budget. Our goal is to make elite knuckleball training accessible to anyone who's serious about improving. Depending on the package, you can choose self-paced video access, weekly coaching, or full 1-on-1 mentorship. No matter your budget, there's an option for you. (We can discuss the best fit during your free strategy call, with absolutely no obligation.)

In addition to the step-by-step video lessons, you'll get a comprehensive toolkit for success. This includes detailed mechanics training for the knuckleball (grip, stance, release, mindset), arm health and conditioning guidance to keep your arm safe, and personalized video feedback on your pitching. You also become part of our knuckleball community – you can send in your pitching clips for analysis, join the weekly Q&A calls, and access any new drills or updates we add to the academy. It's an all-in-one solution for mastering the knuckler.

Absolutely. In many cases, our online training is more effective than traditional once-a-week lessons. Here's why: You'll have a clear progression of drills to follow every day, rather than forgetting what to practice between sporadic lessons. You can re-watch the instructional videos as many times as needed to grasp each technique. Plus, with our weekly Zoom calls and video analysis, you're getting consistent, personalized feedback – it's like having a coach with you all the time. The online format also makes it far more affordable and accessible. We've had countless pitchers succeed through this remote coaching model. As long as you're committed to doing the work, the online academy will give you everything you need to develop a killer knuckleball.

Yes – Coach Zeller does offer in-person lessons in Redondo Beach, California for those who want hands-on training. Local pitchers can schedule private sessions to supplement the online program. However, the core of this academy is online for a reason: it's highly structured and convenient. The online curriculum ensures you're doing the right drills every day, and you still get personal feedback through video. In-person lessons are totally optional – our online students get amazing results on their own – but if you're in the area and want a tune-up or a live lesson, we can accommodate that.
