New Select Program for Seattle Area Baseball Players
WASHINGTON BASEBALL ACADEMY
New Select Program at Go Time Athletics
The Washington Baseball Academy looking for 8U-18U players.
We are currently looking for 2020-2021 8U-18U players wanting to receive elite player training and player development. Our focus is to bring in and help build quality young players that are wanting a NEW opportunity to help reach their playing goals.
Player development is our primary goal
Our programs are designed to help each player in our program to develop and improve their game through direct professional coaching instruction, critical repetitions, player evaluations, and tracking.
Through our player training and development, we will be able to provide each player in our program the opportunity to improve their game which in turn will result in wins.
Our coaching staff will help prepare our 13U-15U players to play high school ball and help our 16U-18U players to have opportunities to play at a higher level if they are committed and dedicated to doing so.
Our elite coaching staff comprises of current and past college players, current and past minor leaguers, current and past pro players, high school coaches, as well as current and past college and professional coaches. We have a wealth of combined coaching/player experience with a love of the game and a love for teaching the game. We are committed to putting the player's development first in our program.
Here is what the players and families will receive:
As a Go Time Athletics - Washington Baseball Academy team, you will receive an indoor place to train, outdoor fields, league fees, tournament fees, player uniforms and gear, player testing/evaluations two times per year, and top-level training for each player position.
Another priority of our program is to provide our high-level training at an affordable price. By keeping our overhead as low as possible we will provide a quality development and training program at a more reasonable price. We work to keep the program as affordable as possible while providing everything needed to develop our players and put a winning program on the field. 2020-2021 season cost:
15U-18U $2,975 per player
13U-14U $2,850 per player
11U-12U $2,200 per player
9U-10U $1,975 per player
8U $1,800 per player
(covers team off-season training, metric testing, fields, uniforms, gear, league play, and tournaments).
We see the majority of our players coming from the surrounding communities to our conveniently located Georgetown location. Our main training facility as well as our practice and game fields will be conveniently located to serve the West Seattle, White Center, Burien, Normandy Park, Tukwila, Renton, Capitol Hill, Rainier Valley, and Beacon Hill areas. We want to cut down the travel for families who have been traveling to the South Sound, Eastside, and to the North end in the past.
Support for our younger, parent coached teams is also an important part of our program. Go Time Athletics parent coaches will be supported by our high school, college, and professional level coaching staff. It is important to provide training to our coaches to provide them with additional knowledge to help them be more successful on both the practice and playing field. We will provide coaching seminars and clinics for our coaching staff.
Support for our parents is also an important part of our program. Go Time Athletics is owned and run by a parent of a college baseball player with experience in Pony, Little League, select ball, showcases, high school, college recruiting, collegiate and prospect level events. With baseball parents, high school coaches, and college coaches on staff, we will be available to answer questions and guidance for families as they weave their way through the baseball experience.
It is a priority for us to provide a positive learning environment for our players. Through positive and respectful coaching and training, we will develop players to not only be better players but to be better teammates and most importantly better young men. We will provide tough love when needed but we strive to do it respectfully allowing us to build a winning program based on positive and respectful relationships. We are a Pony and Little League friendly program. We encourage all players 12 and under to participate in their local youth leagues during the community youth season.
Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss any questions you may have.
We look forward to you joining our program.
