just north of Moock Road, this 20,000 square foot facility offers training to
student athletes, practice space for teams, and a variety of fitness programs
for adults. This new facility is designed to help its members take their
fitness and sports performance to the next level.

batting cages, 2 basketball courts, 3 volleyball courts, a fitness area, a
speed training area, and a “State of the Art” golf simulator. Next Level is also the new home to the
Northern Kentucky Junior Volleyball (NKJV) club.
Programs at Next Level will be
offered in all sports and guided by sports specific experts. Former Cincinnati Red, Dave Collins, is
leading the baseball instruction programs.
Nancy Winstel, the former NKU coaching legend, has signed on to pilot
the basketball program. Lindsay

The courts, batting cages, and fitness areas are divided
by a netting system which allows for individual and team practice areas

speed and strength training, hitting and fitness boot camps and circuit
training. The most unique feature at Next Level is the golf simulator. You can play a round of golf at Pebble Beach,
