Announcing Mountaineer Baseball Academy

We are proud to announce the formation of The Mountaineer Baseball Academy. Success in any sport requires dedication of the athlete, good coaching and strong mentors. The newly formed Mountaineer Baseball Academy would like to offer your ball player a unique chance to get just that through weekly skill building sessions. These sessions will be hosted by a highly experienced coaching staff and group of mentors that want to help each individual player maximize their baseball skills and have fun learning.

In addition there may be opportunities to play with other future Mountaineer Players in age appropriate tournaments or practice games.
