〉DEVELOPMENT CAMPS TAUGHT BY PRO BALLPLAYERS
Instruction at APBPA Skills Camps will come from former Professional Ballplayers.
Instruction will be specific to each of the 5-Tools in which your athlete needs to improve. Our goal in the 5-Tool Camps is to get your athlete into the “Above Average” or “Exceptional” range in each of the 5-Tools and ready for our upcoming showcase.
〉NATIONAL SHOWCASES OF QUALIFIED ATHLETES
When your athlete is ready to attend a showcase (by achieving a cumulative ranking in the “Above Average” or “Exceptional” scoring range), he/ she will be invited to attend one of our APBPA Showcases. College and pro scouts will know that they are attending a showcase of pre-screened athletes who have been pre-qualified and hand-selected to be in attendance.
〉ALL TEAMS COACHED BY FORMER PRO BALLPLAYERS
Every APBPA Travel Team in our Nationwide Network of teams will be coached by one or more of the APBPA’s former Professional Ballplayer members and receive instruction from athletes who know what it takes to get to the professional level.
〉PLAYER REPRESENTATION WITH MLB AGENTS/advisors
- The APBPA maintains relationships with Top Agents/Advisors throughout the MLB. If, and when, your athlete is ready to sign a big league contract, no one will know your athlete better than we do. As such, our agents/advisors will be ready to take your athlete through the negotiation and signing process.
Whether your child’s goals are to play in the Pros or just have fun, your athlete deserves the knowledge, expertise, and resources of our professional ballplayers.

5-Tool Camps
Our “Cradle To Career” Approach Starts Here!
We believe all instruction needs to begin with an objective evaluation.
Our unique approach includes Evaluate, Instruct, Re-evaluate, Repeat.
Our 5-Tool Evaluation provides parents and ballplayers with a snapshot of their athlete’s current skill strengths and weaknesses. This evaluation provides a roadmap of what needs to be accomplished in order to improve your athlete’s future prospects.
