What do Most Players Need?
Development!
...and a vast majority of players don't receive it
Attention parents of aspiring ballplayers! If your child didn't make a summer team at any Little League age or is looking to take their game more seriously, we're here to help!
Most teams and organizations aren't a good fit for 'non select' caliber players, but we specialize in providing the right environment and coaching to help this type of player get ready for their next season / July Tryouts!
Why Developmental?
Our development-focused approach prioritizes skill-building, teamwork, and personal growth over a packed schedule and an obsession with winning. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow and thrive in the sport, regardless of their current skill level.
By keeping the schedule manageable, we help young athletes strike the perfect balance between baseball, family time, and academic pursuits. This balanced approach reduces the risk of burnout and helps our players maintain their love for the game.
Our emphasis on skill development, athletic development, and personal growth ensures that all players, even those who may be new to the sport, have the opportunity to contribute and feel valued. This inclusive philosophy fosters a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and sportsmanship, which are essential for success both on and off the field.
At Boost Baseball Academy, we're dedicated to cultivating a positive and supportive environment where young athletes can build a solid foundation for a lifetime of baseball enjoyment and success.

Players Have Added Skill & Confidence!
Kirkland Little Leaguer 11U
Going into December this coast player was throwing 40-42mph, and didn't throw a ton of strikes. Fast forward 3 months and he is throwing 50-52, and a lot more consistent. This player has a real chance to make his all star team.
Bellevue Little League 12U
This player here came to us in December, and had not played baseball for over a year. His hitting, and pitching form was all off. Fast forward to his opening day Triple A game, and he had 2 hits while making a play in the field!
Redmond Little League 8U
Just wanted first to say thanks for all your team has done. (Name) has progressed a lot over the past several months(3). He has been doing a great job so far in AAA this year, and has performed quite well at pitching and batting. In each of his first two pitching starts, he struck out all 6 outs over his two innings pitched; and quite efficiently. He certainly didn't get his pitching skills from me. We can both probably agree that repetition and practice go a long way here.
