About Backyard Baseball
Our Why
At Backyard Baseball, we believe the best players are built close to home. Our focus is on providing quality baseball lessons that develop strong fundamentals, confidence, and character in an environment that feels personal, intentional, and rooted in family. Every player who walks through our doors receives tailored coaching, that challenge them the right way and teach them to endure the highs and lows. Our expectation is that our athletes walk away with a foundation of not only what it means to be a great ballplayer but also a great young man or woman.
How we develop players
Fundamentals First
Confidence & Character
Confidence & Character
We focus on clean mechanics and repeatable movements in our baseball lessons, ensuring that we do the little things the right way. Our goal is to build a strong foundation that players can begin to build on through proper mechanics, attention to detail, and consistency. This focus is essential at every age, especially for kids baseball lessons and youth agility training.
Confidence & Character
Confidence & Character
Confidence & Character
Confidence is built when players feel supported, challenged, and respected in their baseball journey. We create an environment that values effort, accountability, and encouragement during our baseball lessons. Players are pushed to grow through youth agility training, but never at the expense of their character or love for the game. Our goal is to be better than we were yesterday.
Reps With Purpose
Confidence & Character
Reps With Purpose
Development in baseball doesn’t happen by accident. Every drill and rep has a purpose, and every session is structured to maximize learning. We emphasize high volume and quality reps during our lessons. We believe that players, especially kids, need intentional, game-like feedback to reinforce good habits and break bad ones. Additionally, we incorporate youth agility training to enhance overall performance.
