| What We Do |
|
 Spring Training Baseball Academy was founded on the belief that the ball-field can serve as one of the best platforms for teaching and learning many of life's most important lessons. Teamwork, leadership, respect for others, and maximized effort are a few crucial principles that guide everything we do on the field.
Spring Training offers year-round professional baseball instruction for boys and girls of all skill levels ages 5-18. By placing an emphasis on individual attention and technical instruction while also stressing the important "life" principles listed below, our students excel in all areas of the game. Spring Training maintains a staff of current and former professional, college, and high school ball-players who all possess a unique combination of youthfulness, energy, and experience allowing players to relate to them as both coaches and role models.

| Attitude and Effort: |
| |
All Spring Training students will learn to respect and honor the game in an environment where success is measured by effort and teamwork, not by winning and losing. Whether hitting home runs or striking out, starting at shortstop or starting on the bench, it is critical that all players learn to support teammates, honor the game, and maintain the same positive approach every time they step between the lines, regardless of short-term individual accomplishments or disappointments. |
| |
| Leadership: |
| |
Players will be challenged to act like leaders by supporting and respecting everyone involved in each program: teammates, coaches, and umpires alike. A player who encourages a struggling teammate or dives for a fly-ball even though the team is losing by 10 runs is often a more valuable asset to than the slugger who hits a homerun every time up at-bat. By encouraging players to "control what they can" (attitude, effort, hustle) Spring Training athletes are better prepared to deal with the highs and lows of such a difficult game like baseball. |
| |
| Skill Development: |
| |
While the principles listed above are essential ingredients to becoming a complete player, Spring Training believes skill development is paramount. It is our belief that if players are taught the fundamentally correct way to approach the game's many different skills that they will experience greater success on the field and therefore play the game with more joy. No one relishes disappointment, so by developing successful players, we increase the likelihood that they will continue to enjoy baseball as they grow older. By participating in drills and competitions developed over a lifetime of playing and teaching the game at all levels (from Tee Ball to the Pros), our staff is committed to producing players with a firm grounding in the fundamentals. |
| |
| Become a "Student of the Game": |
| |
All our students will be continually challenged to maximize his or her athletic potential while being encouraged to go above and beyond individual "comfort" levels. By learning new drills, techniques, and philosophies, we hope that all players will become "students of the game." It is for this reason that we encourage all our students to learn how to play many different positions so that ultimately when a coach asks them, "What position do you play?" they can answer, "All of them!"
