Welcome to Sportika Baseball

The Sportika Baseball Academy was created to help each player reach his fullest potential both on and off the field. The full year schedule was designed to provide practice time on the field (indoor at Major and Mini Sportika/ Outdoor), indoor hitting, speed & agility training as well as strength & conditioning training provided by Parabolic, and the option of ongoing academic support  (tutoring) and college counseling provided by Brainstorm. Additionally, Sportika Baseball Academy student-athletes will have access to our in-house recruiting service to provide marketing services and college placement support.

We teach the game of baseball at a high level but much of what we teach and expect will be life lessons that go hand in hand with becoming not only a great player but also a great human being. We prepare our student-athletes by developing and refining their athletic skills, and also focusing on delivering life-skills and mentoring curriculum throughout the season through our Sportika-goodworx partnership.

We instruct the technical and mechanical aspects of becoming the best player you can be, and we also develop hard working, self-disciplined, organized, confident, and caring athletes.
