New York Baseball Academy’s exciting summer program has one of the finest baseball facilities on the East Coast, with Bob Hirschfield as the program’s director. Boasting a multitude of batting cages, teaching stations and practice areas in one central location, the program is sure to help your athlete (ages 7-15) become a better player. The Academy was ranked by www.baseballamerica.com as one of the Top 5 Baseball Schools in the Country. Guest instructors from collegiate and professional ranks provide daily clinics throughout six available weeks. Players select from one through six weeks. They receive an intensive workout schedule and learn defensive and offensive play, as well as team effort. Children are grouped by age, evaluated by the experienced staff, and regrouped based upon ability level. The program stresses hitting, throwing, fielding, base stealing, speed development and reaction training through the use of practice sessions and games. Players partake in a daily position workshop, which emphasizes pitching, infield and catching. A coach-to-player ratio of one to six ensures personal attention. Door-to-door transportation is offered in Manhattan, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk. Camp is July 9-August 17. Hot lunch and swim are available.
