Academy Program
The off-season offers a unique opportunity for players to make significant adjustments to their game without having to compete in game situations. Our goal with winter training is to provide players with the opportunity to develop as well rounded baseball players and more superior athletes. Combining skill development with strength & conditioning sessions allows players to progress more quickly in areas like hitting power, throwing velocity, and base running speed. The holistic nature of the Academy Program will encompass skill development, the implementation of a mental approach to the game, physical development for enhanced performance, and injury prevention.
The Academy Program will allow players to combine all training sessions at a reduced cost. The Academy Program will also include periodic testing of key on-field metrics (e.g. throwing velocity & bat speed).
Session 1 - November 1st to December 18th, 2022
Session 2 - January 9th to February 26th, 2023 Registration Opening SOON!
Session 3 - March 1st to April 5th, 2023 Registration Opening SOON!

15-18 Year Old Academy (age as of first day of training)
Session #1 Cost: $1099.99 +GST
Academy players will train on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for a total of 7.75 hours per week. Catchers will also have the option to train for an additional hour on Friday focusing specifically on catcher’s defense.
For all of our returning players, please note that we have made two adjustments to our Academy Schedule from last year:
1. We have combined our defensive session with our second throwing session and increased the training time to 75 minutes. This will allow our coaches to develop arm actions at defensive positions as players make throws during our defensive work.
2. We have reduced the number of weight room sessions to 3 sessions per week and reduced the cost to reflect this change. We made this decision based on the recommendation of our strength coach AND to honor our commitment to developing well rounded people and multi-sport athletes. This change will mean that athletes are only in our facility on Saturday rather than both days over the weekend.
Please contact Coach Kawahara if you have any questions about this change. Thanks!
