Virginia Beach Sports Academy ensures that the focus of the baseball program remains on complete, individual development. Throughout the year, scouting days for both professional and college teams take place as well as a series of other exposure events across the country, including college tours and baseball showcases.
The baseball academy consists of one team that is open to HS as well as post-graduate students. Competition includes national, regional and local competition. Coaches focus on each student-athlete from the start of their first semester through fall working grounds, position-specific training, and even 1 on 1 coaching sessions mirroring that of an MLB instructional league.
