TRIPLE CROWN ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

A Complete Fall-to-Spring Baseball Development Program

BUILDING BETTER ATHLETES. DEVELOPING BETTER BASEBALL PLAYERS.

The Triple Crown Athlete Development Program is our most comprehensive development program – built for young athletes who want to become stronger, faster, more skilled and more confident baseball players.

We believe long-term baseball development requires more than hitting lessons, pitching instruction or taking extra reps in a cage.

It requires developing the complete athlete.

From fall through spring, athletes train through a structured development plan combining baseball skill development, strength and movement training, pitching and arm development, technology, and competitive opportunities.

The goal isn’t simply to prepare athletes for their next baseball season.

It’s to help build the foundation for the player they can become.

September – April | Structured Off-Season Development

A Complete Off-Season Training Experience

The TRIPLE CROWN ACADEMY PROGRAM is a structured, long-term development environment designed for athletes who want to continue improving during the off-season.

This is not a drop-in clinic.
This is not a short-term camp.

It is a thoughtfully planned training program that supports skill development, athletic growth, and confidence over time — while respecting recovery, seasonal play, and age-appropriate progression.

From mid-September through April, athletes train consistently inside a modern baseball facility built to support learning, movement, and development.

A Modern, Technology-Supported Training Environment

TRIPLE CROWN ACADEMY PROGRAM training takes place inside a purpose-built facility designed for today’s game.

Athletes train using tools that support understanding and feedback, including:

  • HitTrax for swing feedback and game-based training
  • Rapsodo for pitching and hitting insights
  • Video and visual learning tools
  • Sport-specific gym with strength and movement training equipment

Technology is used to support coaching, not replace it — helping athletes understand what they’re working on and why.

Areas of Focus

Baseball Skills
Athletic Development
Learning & Feedback

Training is planned with built-in variation and recovery periods to support long-term health and performance.

Competition & Application of Training

For athletes ready and interested, the program includes opportunities to apply training in competitive settings.

Competition may include:

  • A hosted fall event
  • A fall or spring travel opportunity
  • Optional spring training events, when appropriate

Competition is not the focus of the program — it is an extension of training, used to reinforce learning and growth.

Commitment & Program Value

TRIPLE CROWN ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM is designed as a complete off-season training solution rather than a collection of add-ons.

Over the course of the program, athletes receive:

  • Consistent weekly training
  • Access to modern training tools
  • Structured strength and movement work
  • Organized team and group sessions
  • Clear coaching direction
  • A positive, well-managed environment

When compared to piecing together private lessons, gym memberships, and short-term programs, Fall / Winter provides a more cohesive and intentional approach to development.

Application & Selection

Due to group size limits, athletes must apply for the TRIPLE CROWN ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

Selection is based on:

● Coachability 
● Work Ethic 
● Commitment to the training process 
● Athletic Potential 
● Current Skill level 

The program is open to athletes from all backgrounds and organizations.

Consistent training doesn’t happen by accident.

 It happens in the right environment, over time.
