Program Outline – Our 35th Year
After all these years, we are proud of players who have attended the NYBA. Many of them have gone on to be successful in High School, College, and Professional Baseball. This is where it all started.

At the Academy, parents and players have realized that “We Can Make the Difference”. Players receive a workout schedule that fits into our structured daily routine. Willingness to learn and be instructed by our experienced staff will determine your progress each week.

• Initially, students are grouped by age and then regrouped by their ability. Our player to staff ratio was 6.7:1 (2009).
• Daily instructional program will stress the fundamentals of Hitting, Fielding, Throwing, Speed Development, Basestealing & Flexibility Training.
• Each player will personally select and participate in a Daily Position Workshop (Specialties - Pitching, Catching, & Infield).
• Students will participate in Instructional Games on a daily basis. Coaches will stress Defensive and Offensive play with emphasis on Team Effort.
• Daily Awards. "World Series Games" are held each Friday.
• Each player receives a Comprehensive Written Evaluation with suggestions for improvement at the conclusion of each session.


Multiple Week Enrollments
Most of our students enroll in more than one week throughout the summer. Enrollments do not have be in consecutive weeks. Players have a greater chance to improve their skills by choosing a multiple week enrollment. There is a sliding discounted scale for multiple week enrollments.


Multiple week students experience :
Different set of Coaches and Specialists are assigned each week.
Players have an opportunity to change specialties each week.
Different Guest Instructors appear each week.
Players are assigned to their initial group each week based on their previous evaluation, coach’s recommendation and subsequent testing each week.
 
Parents’ Day
At the NYBA, parents are welcome to view the program anytime throughout the week. Schedules for each group are established on a weekly basis. Parents should call the NYBA office to determine the best time to visit the program. Many parents chose to visit on Fridays, which is our traditional “World Series Day.” Following the day’s instruction and games, there is a brief awards ceremony to honor each participant as well as the selected award winners.
