FOUR (4) T's OF IMPACT

World Baseball Academy provides leadership development opportunities through our four (4) T's of impact:

  • TRAINING – WBA provides excellent baseball skills instruction infused with mentoring, for kids age 4 to 18, including FREE training and other activities for at-risk boys and girls through WBA On Deck programs.
