Has anyone been to the new dryland training facility at Minnesota Made?
Any customer reviews?
What's it called and how do I find out there hours, pricing, etc as I didn't see it on their website.
Does it even exist or did I hear incorrectly?

Dodgeball is the new sport at MM. Tapping a new audience.

My son went there with a friend and said it was good. He normally goes to competitive edge whichnis at hat trick now. He said he still likes the wheel and competitive edge way more. I think the combination of ice, the fly wheel, and a straight ahead treadmill, along with everything else there is tough to compete with. The improvement I've seen with some top older boys who are the tops in the state is impressive.
I do plan to make the trip down and check the mm facility And check it out though.

Rather then being above ground the unique hockey treadmill sits at ground level.

But how does the treadmill actually help my kid for dodgeball? He's an elite player and we plan on having him play D1 or similiar over in Karmcbainistan where it's the national sport.

Maybe your son will be a Purple Cobra someday.
1-2-3 Dodgeball.

You just described Velocity, acceleration, other random facilities, and the park Jack Blatherwick runs his training at. Though the facility is impressive and I would send my kids there if the HS did not already have a program. They charge about $2 per hour.

Don't you mean $20/hr?

No.
9 wks x 4 days/wk x 2-3 hrs a day for $135.
Facilities and training staff are awesome.
However, they do play dodge ball a few times a week.
