Closing of Acceleration West Sports Training Center.
We regret to announce the closing of Acceleration West located in Eden Prairie, MN. We have had a location in either Bloomington or Eden Prairie since 1995. We wish to say THANK YOU to all the athletes, parents and coaches who have used our sports training programs through the years and for your support in recommending our programs to other athletes. We are planning on our current Metro area locations (Chaska, Bloomington, Apple Valley, Plymouth and Arden Hills) being able to meet your Acceleration Sports Training needs. To introduce you to our other sites we ask you to visit our web site at www.accelerationmn.com. We are sorry for any inconvenience the West closing has caused and hope our other locations will be able to accommodate you. Listed below are the other facilities and their owners. If you have any further questions regarding the West location please call me at (651) 398-8116 or email donnorqual@aol.com.

Thank You,
Don Norqual, President of Acceleration Minnesota Sports Training Centers
