Step up to the plate, win on our team
Overview: Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Academy of Proplayers team. Organized baseball is bigger and more competitive than ever. Tournament baseball teams play and practice all year round. These teams are springing up around the nation. These players and coaches are looking for professional instruction, which a "volunteer" can not give. They are looking for places to practice during inclement weather and a place to go since other sports are consuming their field times. As baseball becomes a world sport there is also a greater need for professional instruction and training facilities in order to compete.

Since our humble beginnings in 1980's as a weekend winter camp to our current mega camps that sell over five thousand spots, we have run camps that span three decades.

What sets us apart is we have always maintained a professional staff dedicated to the Academy program. Our staff is full of pro players, scouts, All Americans and College Coaches.
