THE FALL ACADEMY

Our 26th Year

2019

​

An Overview

We have sent more high school players to The Next Level than any other central Ohio baseball instructional/developmental program...

Our goal is for players to "Learn the Game" in a professional way so that they will ultimately "Live the Dream."

We take Only 30 players per year into this very 'select' academy. We blend instruction with competition and have found that our formula proves

to be a very successful mix. Those who register at this time will no doubt get accepted into the academy

and enter at a discounted fee. Total cost for the 7-week academy that works out approximately 5 days per week is $1500. It includes wood bats, t-shirts

and hat. Most of the work outs are conducted in Huntington Park.

We pledge to make the 2018 edition of

TFA an even better experience than the past 25 years.

This past year we added a special component, speed training, and it proved to be a

really positive addition. The players who really put in the effort got a lot out of the workouts. So, we plan to continue with it again in 2015. We are planning to do other new things, too!

 

The 2019 Fall Academy will begin in August. We hope you decide to join.
