Fulfill Your Dream of Helping Athletes Find Better Ways to Play Their Game, While Owning a Unique, Niche Business!

TheSandlot Baseball & Softball training academies are the premier provider of baseball and softball instruction. Our specialized instructional program goes beyond just the physical training on the field to include player's heart, attitude, and mental preparation. Our goal is to instill a life-long learning system for both mind and body. Our programs are designed to help parents create successful, dedicated and respectful children by reinforcing positive values in a unique baseball/softball setting. Students not only learn how to play the games, but also learn self-confidence, self-esteem, and respect for others and themselves. Our unique concept offers you the opportunity to own a proven business with turnkey systems, so previous business ownership experience is not necessary. You should have a passion for baseball/softball and enjoy the rewards of helping children excel.

A High-Growth Industry
The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Training Academy is in high-demand across the country. We currently have 30 academies in the U.S. and that number continues to increase yearly. Now is a great time to join us while many prime territories are still available!

A Unique, Exciting Business to Own
Our mission is to utilize principals learned on The Sandlot to improve the lives and character of young adults today. The Sandlot training approach is based on the five physical tools that major league baseball scouts look at when evaluating players. Those five physical tools are:

Running: speed and base running abilities
Fielding: softness of hands, exchange from glove to throwing hand
Throwing: arm strength and accuracy
Hitting for average: situational hitting
Power Hitting: abilities to drive the ball

The sixth and maybe the most important area a scout evaluates are referred to in the industry as “makeup”. This in essence is the character of the player, the overall player’s attitude, dedication, level of respect and self confidence. Many times the sixth tool, the player’s mental aspect, determines if the player makes the team, earns the scholarship, or is offered the professional contract. This sixth element is the core of The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academies training and how we differentiate ourselves from the competition.

Our CHAMPS Philosophy Differentiates Us
The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academy’s philosophy is based on encouraging and rewarding positive behavior for each student in his or her game, at home and at school. The positive characteristics taught at The Sandlot Baseball & Softball Academy are qualities that help our students succeed in not only being better ball players, but also better participants at home and at school.
