The Play Ball Baseball Coaching and Teaching Philosophy

At Play Ball Academy we believe baseball is not just a game, rather it's a way of life. We teach the game much in the same way that we run our everyday lives; instilling values such as respect, honor, commitment, and class. Players come in all different shapes, sizes, and abilities, therefore, we do our best to teach baseball skills and techniques that are best suited for the individual and not force feed our own personal routines or opinions.

We don't think our teaching methods are better than others and don't claim to know everything there is to know about baseball. What we can guarantee is, decades of playing and coaching experience which we love to pass along to baseball coaches, players, and parents all over the world. What you'll find at PlayBallAcademy.com is an old school approach to the game with additional new and fresh techniques that are proven to be effective for the young baseball player.

Here's what our members are saying ...
"I got my stuff today and have already seen improvement in his pitch just with the drills on the dvd in one evening! I'm excited and he is happy he's more accurate than he use to be"

"Thanks Coach Steve-- you and Blake have always been attentive and very helpful in Vinnys progress. You'll be glad to here he threw 4 scoreless innings in his first game 3-23. After walking his first batter, he knocked down 12 in a row. He and I know what you guys have done for him, along with his hard work and hours of practice. Playball Ac. has been a great find for him as player and me as his coach."
