Big Leagues Academy

Big Leagues Academy is now located within the Newtown Athletic Club training facility along Pheasant Run in Newtown Township. It is the place young athletes go for the extra learning and practice needed to improve their skills in their sport of choice.
My 13 year old has taken several seasons of baseball education and muscle memory work here. Not the most naturally gifted athlete, the additional exposure and repetitiveness are ideal for preparing him for the upcoming tryouts and season. The coaches and trainers are experienced and professional, yet know they are working with young people. They are dedicated to the task. Using the pitching machines to work on batting stroke is also invaluable, and the cost is very reasonable.
The facility is only one year old and state of the art when it comes to adequate space and equipment for most outdoor sports. While we were there this weekend, in addition to Babe Ruth assessments, the other side of the huge building was being used for lacrosse practice. Big Leagues Academy is fortunate to have a good relationship with the NAC.
It is also very interesting to watch the parents interact with their kids, some quietly encouraging, others more vocally so, but all with the earnest desire to see their sons and daughters be more successful in sports. Everyone seems to know each other from attending the actual games their kids are preparing to play.
Occasionally, a major league player will walk in to offer a clinic. The kids really love those. So do the dads.
