If you would like more information on the facility or are just curious of things to come, please feel free to contact us.

It is the mission of Sandlot Baseball and Softball Academies to become the premier provider of baseball and softball instruction. Our specialized instructional program goes beyond just the physical training on the field to include heart, attitude, and mental preparation. Our goal is to instill a life-long learning system for both mind and body. Our programs are designed to help parents create successful, dedicated and respectful children by reinforcing positive values in our unique baseball/softball setting. Students not only learn how to play the games, but also learn self confidence by setting and reaching goals, self esteem by continual growth, improvement on and off the field, and respect for others and themselves.

Training Approach

The Sandlot training approach is based on the five physical tools that major league baseball scouts look at when evaluating players. Those five physical tools are:

Running: speed and base running abilities
Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
Hitting for average: situational hitting
Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball

The sixth and maybe the most important area a scout evaluates are referred to in the industry as "makeup". This in essence is the character of the player, the overall players attitude, dedication, level of respect and self confidence. Many times the sixth tool, the players mental aspect, determines if the player makes the team, earns the scholarship, or is offered the professional contract. This sixth element is the core of The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academies training and how we differentiate ourselves from the competition.

CHAMPS

The Sandlot Baseball and Softball Academies philosophy is based on encouraging and rewarding positive behavior for each student in his or her game, at home and at school. The positive characteristics taught at The Sandlot Baseball and Softball Academies are qualities that help our students succeed in not only being better ball players, but also better participants at home and at school. Our CHAMPS philosophy is based on the following:
